Thames Hop-On Hop-Off River Cruise

The easiest way to see London’s riverside: hop on at Westminster, the London Eye, the Tower or Greenwich, and use the boats as often as you like for 24 hours. There’s a captain’s commentary, a heated saloon for chilly days and a bar on board.

Hours: daily from 10am, with boats every 20–40 minutes depending on the season. Westminster to Greenwich takes about 70 minutes.

Tickets: 24-hour hop-on hop-off pass from £24.95 per adult, with family tickets available. Book online, since sightseeing tickets aren’t sold at the piers.

Piers: Westminster (SW1A 2JH), London Eye (SE1 7PB), Tower (EC3N 4DT) and Greenwich (SE10 9HT)

Book the official City Cruises river pass

The 24-hour City Cruises pass is included in the London Pass by Go City, which is handy if you’re doing the Tower and the Eye too.
