Eat a Medieval Banquet in St Katherine's Dock

This one sounds so terrible, it could just be worth having a look. Medieval Banquet have been organising nightly banquets by flickering torchlight in the cellars beneath Ivory House, near Tower Bridge and the Tower of London, for 35 years.


A reasonably high fee gets you a four course meal with unlimited beer and wine, and a show featuring the 'real' King Henry VIII, and his knights, players, dancers and wenches. There is also after-show music and dancing until late.

It's not cheap, at £49 per person on Fridays and Saturdays, and £45 at all other times, and it has the potential to be excruciating, but maybe that's why the unlimited drink is on offer.

However, it will appeal to some people, and if not the American tourists are sure to lap it up. If it sounds like your sort of thing, see http://www.medievalbanquet.com/
