Jak oceniliśmy Thames River Cruise
Nasza metodaAround £14 to float past most of London's riverside icons is the cheapest great view in the city.
The Westminster to Greenwich stretch packs in Big Ben, St Paul's, Shakespeare's Globe, the Tower and Tower Bridge, with live commentary on sightseeing boats.
Boats are big and departures frequent. Midday summer sailings fill the top deck first; go off-peak for the best seats.
The best-value sightseeing hour in London, and a genuinely useful way to reach Greenwich.

Cruise one way to Greenwich and make an afternoon of it: the Cutty Sark, Greenwich Park and the Royal Observatory are all a short walk from the pier. Heading downstream, the left side of the boat gets St Paul's and the Tower.

FAQ — Thames River Cruise
Is a Thames river cruise worth it?▾
Yes. For around £14 the Westminster to Greenwich sightseeing cruise passes Big Ben, St Paul's, Shakespeare's Globe, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge in about an hour, with live commentary. Nothing else in London shows you as much for as little.
How long is the Thames cruise from Westminster to Greenwich?▾
About an hour each way. Most people cruise one way, spend the afternoon in Greenwich, and return by DLR or Tube.
Which side of the boat should you sit on?▾
Heading downstream from Westminster, the left (north) side faces St Paul's and the Tower of London; the right side gets the London Eye, the Globe and Tower Bridge's south bank. The open top deck sees everything, so board early for a seat there.
What's the difference between a sightseeing cruise and Uber Boat?▾
Sightseeing cruises are slower, with live commentary and open viewing decks. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is a fast river-bus service: cheaper and great for getting around, but with no commentary and commuter-style seating.

Yes, it's London's most fun viewpoint: a harnessed 90-minute climb over the arena roof with 360° views. Book the sunset slot and only go on a clear day.
Yes — for most first-time visitors to London, especially at sunset or after dark, but only book if you can get Fast Track on busy days.
