Fancy avoiding the cold and crowds? Swanky boat parties on the Thames let you drink overpriced champagne while bobbing past Parliament. Cost: about the price of a small car. Is it worth it? Only if you enjoy being trapped on water with drunken strangers. Alternatively, snag a rooftop bar—like Sky Garden or The Shard’s “View.” Expect to pay £200+ for a ticket that includes a glass of bubbly and a panoramic view of the chaos below. Surprising fact: The Shard has an altitude of 1,016 feet—cold enough that your nose will freeze, but the photos will be legend.
