Uber Boat by Thames Clippers and IFS Cloud Cable Car
This combination ticket gives you access to London's most practical and scenic transport connections. The Thames Clippers high-speed catamarans connect major piers from Putney to Woolwich, stopping at key locations including Westminster, London Eye, Tower Bridge, Greenwich, and Canary Wharf. The service runs every 20-30 minutes during peak times with comfortable seating, large windows, and onboard refreshments.
The IFS Cloud Cable Car (Emirates Air Line) completes your Thames experience with a 90-second journey 90 metres above the river. You'll get panoramic views of The O2, Canary Wharf, and the Thames Barrier as you cross between Greenwich Peninsula and Royal Docks. Each gondola holds up to 10 passengers with climate control for year-round comfort.
This transport solution works particularly well if you're planning to visit multiple Thames-side attractions. The flexibility to hop on and off at various piers makes it perfect for exploring Tower of London and Crown Jewels or Greenwich's maritime sites without the hassle of tube connections.
