Description
A Westminster to Greenwich river cruise lets London come to you: you board at Westminster Pier and let the Thames carry you past the Houses of Parliament, the Tate Modern, The Shard and under Tower Bridge. A one-way trip takes around an hour, and you can choose to come back by boat too.
The vessel is modern but traditional, with an open deck for the widest views. Commentary in English is live on board, and an audio guide you play on your smartphone is available in many more languages.
- Stops at Embankment Pier, Festival Pier and Bankside along the way
- Arrival at Greenwich Pier
- A ticket that lets you join the boarding queue, not the ticket office one
At Greenwich you can explore freely. Greenwich Market and the Cutty Sark are close to the pier, and from there the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum and Greenwich Park can all be reached on foot.
Exact cruise times may vary. Children under five join free, and tips are not included.
