Charter your own private yacht on the River Thames this summer

Set sail on Illuminate London, where panoramic views, flowing champagne and a professional skippered crew come as standard

Sponsored by:

Illuminate London

Waterways across the UK have become decidedly busier since lockdown rules have been relaxed. Whilst most flock to the open parks this summer, those seeking a more refined experience, have turned their attention to London’s open waters. If you’ve ever thought about living it up on a luxury yacht like an F1 driver post-Monaco Grand Prix, it can now easily become a reality with Illuminate London . Aside from offering privacy and endless photo opportunities, private yacht charters are infinite in their scope, whether it’s for a romantic rendezvous or an informal business lunch.

Illuminate’s Italian-designed Azimut 46 Flybridge is a luxury yacht that combines speed, comfort and elegance with spacious social areas. At 15 metres, it is also the perfect length to cruise down England’s second-longest river.

Offering 360º panoramic views of London, the Illuminate yacht can accommodate up to 10 guests across its three areas. The upper deck, with its sociable seating arrangement, is the perfect place for open-air entertainment; the lower deck is partially sheltered, with sliding doors leading into the open-plan living quarters. A skipper and crew ensure the only thing you have to worry about is refilling your champagne glass and enjoying the view.

Illuminate offers Michelin-standard onboard dining options. Chef Philippe, a veteran of London’s fine-dining scene, creates bespoke menus ranging from light canapés to a formal culinary experience. No cruise would be complete without drinks, so, should you wish, an onboard mixologist can also be arranged.

Those looking for a dose of culture can request a tour guide, handy as you cruise past some of London’s most famous landmarks. Depending on your needs, the Illuminate team will happily repurpose the yacht’s spacious cabin for your personal use.

No charter is the same – how to customise your cruise:

• Cruises typically set off from Imperial Wharf, Chelsea, but alternative piers can be arranged
• All of Illuminate’s cruises include Champagne on arrival, fresh flowers, a skipper and crew
• Michelin on the move – Illuminate’s chef draws on his Michelin-star training to provide bespoke culinary experiences. From fine dining for up to six guests, to canapés for up to 10
• Business meetings – wine and dine while getting down to business. Illuminate’s three separate areas provide ample space to deal and deliberate
• Tailored cocktails and drinks can be served by a private mixologist.
• A proposal – be it a small band (to appear from below deck as a romantic gesture) or a specially planned ring display

Tower Bridge

Arguably one of the most famous and instantly recognisable structures in the entire world. When not cruising on the river, the TLC fleet is moored alongside Tower Bridge at our Butler's Wharf Pier.

Originally built in 1869 to carry tea back from China, the Cutty Sark visited nearly every major port in the world and gained fame for her record-breaking passages. Now in permanent dry dock on the edge of the river, she is the magnificent centrepiece of Greenwich Town Centre. With this and other local attractions, it's little wonder Greenwich Pier is so popular with TLC charterers.

View Greenwich Pier information

"private yachts and private yacht charters mean personalisation, privacy, choice and freedom. you are in control. what better way to spend a holiday".

There is no better way to enjoy a vacation than in the privacy and safety of your own personal charter yacht. Not only do you get to choose the yacht you would like and where and when you would like to holiday, but also your individual charter broker and your captain & crew will be able to personalise and tailor your experience in a way that makes it a truly private and personal experience. An experience that is tailored specifically to your requirements and fancies, and those of your guests, be they family or friends.

So, what benefits do you get from the private nature of a superyacht charter? Well obviously there is privacy, but the other main benefit is freedom of choice. You don’t just charter the boat, you are also hiring the crew and you are choosing a location (and itinerary), so you can also request many things that suit you and your charter party along the way. For instance, you can choose the yacht type and location you desire, choose the cuisine you would like, choose the time of year you wish to go, choose whether you want an energetic and engaging crew style or whether you would rather they were more discreet and gave you more privacy, choose what type of experiences you would like to focus on – water sports, relaxation, nightlife, entertainment, or all of the above.

One of the best things about freedom of choice is that you can change your mind about itineraries or activities you wish to do. But, with all this freedom of choice you may think that you could get lost in endless decision making. However your charter broker and your captain are the knowledgeable experts that will help advise you both before and during your vacation, according to your likes and dislikes, interests and intentions.

The luxury yacht charter industry rents out privately owned yachts precisely to create this type of freedom and privacy - the epitome of a luxury vacation. This is the best of the best. Each of the superyachts is owned individually by a private yacht owner, with their own tastes and style. Similarly, the yachts have been designed and built by yacht designers and naval architects, all with their own personality of style. Accordingly, it is important to use a broker to help match you with your ideal yacht, both in terms of the yacht’s crew, amenities and water toys but also its interior decoration and exterior styling. Likewise, when you embark on your charter vacation you will be able to enjoy the yacht privately as your own. In this way yacht chartering is very different to cruise ships, even the most luxurious ones because cruise ships are public and you share your ship and it’s amenities with others. Private yachts and private yacht charters mean personalisation, privacy, choice and freedom. You are in control. What better way to spend a holiday?

Our yacht brokers have extensive knowledge of all the popular spots in the Mediterranean, such as the French Riviera, Corsica, Sardinia, Portofino, the Amalfi Coast, Sicily, Ibiza, Mallorca, Croatia, and the Greek Islands.

Amalfi Coast Yacht Charter

The Amalfi Coast (Costiera Amalfitana), the stretch of coastline south of Naples in the Campania region of Italy that includes the picturesque towns of Positano, Praiano and Amalfi, is an exceptional luxury yacht charter destination with a mild climate, towns teetering on vertical cliffs, lemon and olive groves peppering the terraced hillsides and beautiful beaches reached only by private yacht.

Antibes Yacht Charter

The City of Antibes is conveniently tucked between Nice and Cannes, on the Côte d’Azur coastline, but it is certainly far from being obscure, and definitely not hidden!

Balearic Islands Yacht Charter

The Balearic Islands have always been popular as a yacht charter destination, well known for a sunny climate, spectacular beaches, nature parks, nightlife and archaeological ruins.

Beaulieu-sur-Mer Yacht Charter

Beaulieu-sur-Mer, or quite literally beautiful place by the sea, lies in a very privileged position between Nice and Monaco.

Brac Yacht Charter

Carpeted with silver-green olive trees and Aleppo pines, the mountainous island of Brac rises out of the Adriatic like a rugged jewel. Colourful fishing boats tie up at pretty harbours, shaded by exotic palms and Renaissance buildings carved from the dazzling white limestone of Brac, most famously used in the construction of America’s White House.

The changing landscape of executive support roles: What CEOs should know

Preparing for staffing needs during key periods: holidays and seasonal peaks

I am the HR Director for an international property firm and used 19 London to hire multiple members of staff, including a PA, Receptionist and an Office Manager, after our PSL agencies let us down. Helen and her team did a fantastic job – everything was seemless, their shortlist was spot-on and we interviewed every candidate they had sent. After losing confidence in agencies, 19 London have won me over and are now top of our PSL.

HR Director

Finding a Personal Assistant can be a pain-staking job at times. I’ve had 3 in 2 years and am fed up of paying agency fees only to be let down each time. 19 London offered competitive rates and it really felt like they took time to understand my problem and find me a solution. From introduction to placement, it took only one week and it never felt like they were after a quick buck. I am super impressed. Well done and thank you guys. I’ll certainly be recommending you again.

High Net Worth Businessman

I was recommended to 19 London by another television production company, after they found a PA for their own CEO, and I am so thankful for that recommendation. The agency did a first class job and we could not be more pleased with our hire. Definitely one to watch!

Chief Operations Officer

My friend, an actress, recommended 19 London to me after they found her a PA. I wanted someone discreet and didn’t want to be fussed over as I had to deal with this hire myself. Seriously – don’t use anyone else – these guys are top notch.

High Profile American Singer

19 London – you saved me! You got what I wanted straight away, you listened, you made me laugh, you made the process so much easier and less tiresome. My hire is worth every penny. I’ll be back soon!

Media Entrepreneur

Helen contacted me whilst we were half way through our hire process. And I’m so glad she did. It had taken us 5 months and over 30 interviews to get to the point we were at and no-one seemed right for our team. Within 24 hours of briefing Helen, she sent me a shortlist of 5 people, 4 of which we interviewed, and 2 of which we ended up hiring – within 10 days. Incredible service. Incredible agency!

I was lucky enough to be recommended to Helen, a Director at 19 London, for my job search. I'd heard great things about 19, but was sceptical about leaving my position as I had been in the same role for 14 years. Helen was so understanding, very responsive, always kept me up to date and found me a new role within 10 days. I have now been in the role for 2 months and could not be happier.

PA to Film Actress

I'm always hesitant about recruitment agencies - I always feel ignored and at the bottom of the pile for every job I go for. 19, however, really made an effort to make me feel special and looked after. I found my dream job really quickly, my consultant was so lovely and fun and made the whole experience so easy. I need to find a second PA for my boss, and I won't be going anywhere else other than 19.

Personal Assistant to CEO of Global Advertising Agency

I love 19 London. They're young, cool, modern and they just get it - exactly what the industry needs.

Office Manager for American Media Company

I'd been in my position in PR for 8 years and needed a change. My partner recommended 19 to me after using them for her own job search. They have been incredibly professional and easy to deal with. I was well looked after and advised throughout the entire process and I have taken the next step in my career to a huge company and I owe 19 London for helping me achieve this goal.

PR Director for International Co-Working Corporation

Best agency ever! Love the staff, love the company, love the brand - I had a great experience and will be recommending them to my network for sure!

Receptionist for Private Equity Firm

Meet Anthony Watson: The jet-setting Labour donor whose bank is under the microscope

“The world of global transaction and clearing banking needs disrupting,” Anthony Watson declared in a press release announcing the foundation of his new business, the Bank of London. The company was “rewriting the rulebook”, the 2021 announcement said.

Watson was a Labour donor who had built up a minor public profile after being named as one of the most prominent gay executives in the US and UK.

A former senior leader at both Nike and Barclays, the Bank of London announcement stressed his “distinguished career as an entrepreneur, inventor, philanthropist” and described him as one of a “handful of people in the world to successfully launch financial disrupters in both the US and the UK”.

The Bank of London raised hundreds of millions of pounds and attracted luminaries to its board including private equity chief Harvey Schwartz and former Labour Cabinet member Lord Mandelson.

Schwartz, the Wall Street veteran, held up the bank as a way to avoid another financial crisis.

Now, both Bank of London and Watson are under intense scrutiny after a surprise winding up order was issued to the company last week. It came days after Watson stepped down as chief executive.

The winding up order from HMRC has left Bank of London scrambling to reassure the market and provoked questions about the judgement of both investors and the company’s supporters.

Insta-banker

It has also thrown a spotlight on Watson, a prolific user of social media who has defended showing off his wealthy lifestyle.

Difficulties for the Bank of London and Watson threaten to be embarrassing for Labour. Watson has given more than £500,000 to the Labour Party, according to electoral filings, including donating to ministers Yvette Cooper, Peter Kyle and Wes Streeting, marking him out as a key business ally for the party .

One sponsorship reportedly included taking Dawn Butler, the Labour MP, to a glitzy Los Angeles awards ceremony.

Educated at Dublin’s Trinity College, Watson initially embarked on a career in technology while working at a call centre for AOL in Ireland.

After working at Microsoft, he moved into banking with roles at Barclays and US bank Wells Fargo, before eventually rising to become chief information security officer at Nike. It was at Nike that he first gained a public profile: a 2014 Guardian profile described him “one of the most influential gay men in the world”.

Watson has won plaudits as a champion of corporate diversity, spending years on the board of advocacy group GLAAD and acting as a patron to a major British LGBT children’s charity.

By 2016, he was appointed chair of Labour’s Business and Enterprise Council. Angela Eagle, then-shadow business secretary, said he would help “lay the foundations for a shared capitalism”.

In the press, it was Watson’s colourful Instagram profile that drew attention. It featured pictures of him on private jets, at the helm of a yacht and skiing. Other posts on the entrepreneur’s social media include showing off his CBE, awarded for services to the LGBT community, and meeting the Prince of Wales.

The 47-year-old previously told the Mail on Sunday he was “not ashamed or embarrassed” of his social media presence, adding “my Instagram is open, I’m not going to apologise for how I look, nor for being successful”.

“I came out when I was 21. Unfortunately I was homeless for nine months. So everything I’ve made, I’ve made myself.”

While Watson’s time at Nike is well documented, what is less well known is what the 47-year-old did before he started the Bank of London.

‘Toxic’ leadership

Between 2015 and 2020, Watson launched and advised Uphold, a cryptocurrency trading service based in the Caymans that ultimately grew to 6m customers.

A Cayman Islands court ruling, seen by The Telegraph, reveals a bitter shareholder row during Watson’s tenure at Uphold. In a winding up lawsuit, a disgruntled shareholder alleges “excessive” and “unsustainable” spending at “an executive level” at the cryptocurrency start-up during the period of 2016 to 2018.

Mr Watson is not named as a party to the case. The ruling adds Uphold and the respondents viewed the petition as “without foundation”. The case is ongoing.

Uphold has also been criticised by customers for promoting a lending product offered by another start-up that ultimately went bust. Customers have complained of losing tens of thousands of pounds after Cred, which offered interest-bearing crypto products, imploded in October 2020.

Uphold had allegedly advertised the crypto coin on its website. It has filed with a US court to dismiss claims from customers alleging it was at fault.

Cred’s founders have since been accused by US prosecutors of a fraud that cost consumers $780m (£596m). Uphold has distanced itself from the company, saying in a court filing it was “internal fraud and mismanagement that caused Cred’s downfall”.

“Our trust was betrayed,” Uphold has said. Uphold has not been named or included in the US prosecution.

Curiously, when it was incorporated in Companies House, the Bank of London was originally named Uphold. A source insisted there is no relation between the two businesses.

The Bank of London appears to have suffered from growing pains under Watson. On Glassdoor, some staff expressed frustrations at what they claimed was “toxic” leadership. Some questioned their chief executive’s enthusiastic social media use.

The bank has this year lost its chief technology officer, chief operating officer and chief information security officer. Two senior non-executive directors have also left in the last 12 months.

Last week, Watson unexpectedly announced he was stepping back.

“As difficult as it is for any founder CEO to step back, I know in my heart that this is the right time for me,” he said in a post on LinkedIn.

The announcement came shortly before the shock winding up petition from HMRC, one of the most serious a creditor can take against a company – effectively a threat to shut it down for non-payment of debts.

When The Telegraph first contacted the Bank of London about the filing, sources insisted its chief executive, finance chief and general counsel were unaware of any such court action.

A day later, a spokesman confirmed a petition had been issued, blaming an “administrative delay” due to an “internal miscommunication”. The spokesman said: “The Bank of London is fully up to date with all tax payments to HMRC.”

On Sunday, as scrutiny was mounting, the bank confirmed it had raised £42m from investors, led by Mangrove, an early Skype backer run by tech investor and founder Mark Tluszcz.

The Financial Times subsequently reported that the Bank of London had lost £27m so far in 2024 on an adjusted basis, citing an investor presentation. A source insisted the bank still had “years” of financial runway.

Tluszcz said the new investment “speaks to the confidence investors have in its leadership and unique model”. Stephen Bell, the company’s newly appointed chief executive and its former head of risk, said the deal “underscores investor belief and confidence.”

While the Bank of London has sought to quickly move on from the winding up petition, it has raised eyebrows among experts.

The error is “a big one by the tax and finance teams – and the legal team [for] not noticing the statutory demand, which would be amazing incompetence,” says Dan Neidle, founder of Tax Policy Associates.

A Bank of London spokesman confirmed on Tuesday the winding up petition had now been cancelled.

A spokesman said: “As soon as the board became aware of [the winding up petition], the debt was settled and the matter resolved. The bank has put in place appropriate measures to ensure there is never a repeat of this issue.”

Watson, the bank’s one-time figurehead, is moving into a role as a “senior adviser” to its holding company. He declined to comment.

After years courting the limelight, it appears even Watson is waiting for the storm to blow over. He has made his Instagram account private.
