Good to Know

The full circular cruise takes approximately 30 minutes, but you can extend your experience using the hop-on, hop-off format. Boats typically run every 30 minutes during peak season and every hour during quieter periods. Arrive at your chosen pier at least 15 minutes before departure for the best seating options.

Boarding locations include Westminster Pier (closest to Big Ben), London Eye Pier, Tower Pier (near Tower Bridge and Tower of London), and Greenwich Pier. Westminster Pier offers excellent access to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament area.

Dress in layers as river temperatures can be cooler than on land. The left side of the boat typically offers better views of major landmarks when travelling eastbound. For the best photography opportunities, consider combining your cruise with a visit to the London Eye or exploring the Tower of London when you disembark at Tower Pier.

Tickets are valid for same-day use, though checking availability is recommended during busy periods. The service operates year-round with seasonal schedule adjustments, and boats run in most weather conditions thanks to comfortable heated indoor areas.
