London’s Ultimate Floating Obstacle Course

The wider resort is a water sports paradise, offering wakeboarding, water skiing, wake surfing, cable skiing, and open-water swimming for those looking to expand their aquatic horizons. With expert instructors on hand, even complete beginners can try their hand at these adrenaline-pumping activities.
