2.Dinner and Jazz Cruise on the River Thames

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 140 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $137

Cruise the Thames from Westminster Pier for about three hours, pairing London's night-time sights with a three-course dinner and live jazz. Expect fixed seating, panoramic windows, an upper deck for photos, and drinks sold separately. Smart casual dress and advance dietary requests are important.

“We had a lovely time! The dinner was delicious and the music very good. Next time will try to make sure we get a window table. Just an observation, the lentils were delicious, since i love lentils. However, as an only option as side for meat eaters in a country where its not actually that common in restaurants, it's not ideal. I'm saying this because my husband doesn't like lentils and so for him the main ended up being just the duck leg in itself.”

4.London: 58th Street Jazz Age Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 25 reviews · 4 hours · from $93

Spend four hours inside Belle Livingstone’s recreated 1930s country club, with a six-course Manhattan menu, live jazz led by trumpeter King Rory Simmons, cabaret, burlesque, and theatre. Choose a 1 p.m. matinee or 7 p.m. evening show. Drinks cost extra.

“It was brilliant. We were a little worried when we saw the alley to walk down but no problem it was busy and safe. We had indulged in the VIP so we're able to go straight in. From there it was fantastic. Friendly Helpful staff, all in character of the era, welcomed us by name. The food was good and the entertainment superb. I don't normally do reviews but my husband said I should make an exception this time as I had arranged the evening as his birthday present and he said it was the best birthday present he had ever had.”
