There's no getting away from the big 3-0. The dreaded welcome into middle-aged life means that this birthday, of all birthdays, can be the most depressing of the lot. As the date looms ever closer you start to panic, wondering whether the best way to celebrate would be to sit on the sofa with a bottle of wine and buckle in for the inevitable journey toward old age.

Here at West End on the Thames, however, we don't believe in any of that ageist nonsense and think that your thirtieth birthday should be the biggest celebration yet. Gone are the years of not knowing how to work a washing machine and getting so drunk you're sick in your own shoes. Turning thirty is a time for celebration, and what better way to enjoy your birthday than with a unique boat party on the Thames with your nearest and dearest. Whether you want a wild night filled with dancing and drinks or the thought of reaching this milestone has you planning something a little more refined, our team of specialist planners can organise an event that will make your 30th birthday the best one yet.

Choose from a range of catering and entertainment packages, plus the added option of booking a photographer to leave you with lasting memories of the occasion. Enjoy your birthday surrounded by some of London's most famous landmarks whilst sipping on a drink (or two, or three, depending on how you're dealing with it all). Celebrate out on deck during the summer months and let the warm city air surround you or head inside to our spacious dance floor and on board bar.

We can promise that your best days are ahead of you, so make sure that your thirtieth birthday venue puts your previous years to shame. And if you end up being sick in your shoes, at least you'll know that nothing's really changed.
