Unfortunately, at this current time, the Terrible Thames boat is not a new build so is unable to offer step-free access aboard the vessel.
However, there are plans to improve the boat by adding a wheelchair lift and accessible bathroom facilities - watch this space!
Unfortunately, your pampered pooches will have to stay at home for this one!
However, if your furry friend is an Assistance Dog and is required, then they may be allowed aboard at the Captain's discretion.
