Cruising the River Thames
A sightseeing boat ride on the Thames River in London
Sailing down the Thames is great fun—and quite a relaxing way to sightsee. Some guides are better than others, but it's a great way to see the city—and learn its history—from a new point of view. I like cruising all the way to Greenwich (then taking the Tube back).
The major boarding piers are:
- Westminster Pier (beside Westminster Bridge)
- Waterloo Pier (near the London Eye)
- Tower Pier (near the Tower of London)
- Greenwich Pier (near the Cutty Sark)
Tips
- Planning your time: Few cruises last less than 30 minutes. Many are an hour or more. (
