"You absorb 2,000 years of history just by being near the Thames"

This is Martin Freeman's advice to you, and we couldn't agree more. Take a ride along the Thames River and see London from an entirely new perspective.

The River Thames flows through the heart of the British capital. Its 346-kilometer riverbank is lined with several spectacular sites. The simplest way to get your sightseeing done in one day is to take a Thames River Cruise and hop on and off at important areas; here's a guide to this whistle-stop cruise tour.

Want a fantastic photo opportunity?

Take a Thames River cruise from Westminster to Greenwich. London's landmarks look amazing from the water. Walking around London can be tiring and crowded, especially around famous spots like Big Ben and the London Eye. Save your legs and hop on a boat instead!

Save your legs!

London is huge, so walking everywhere can be exhausting. While walking along the River Thames is beautiful, it's a long trek. So, why not save your energy for other activities and explore the neighborhoods on foot instead?

Who's the man in the water?

On a Thames river cruise, you not only get great views but also learn about the city's buildings, bridges, and districts. Plus, you'll hear interesting facts about famous landmarks. For example, did you know that Ian McKellen co-owns The Grapes pub and lives nearby? He even installed a lifelike statue in the water!

Wine and dine through the city

Your evening cruise ticket is perfect for a romantic date night or a fun evening out with friends. Imagine cruising down the Thames at sunset with a glass of wine (or a refreshing soft drink) in hand!th open-air upper decks, closed lower decks, and fully licensed bars. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

Before you book your Thames River cruise, here are some essential details to consider:

• Consider the variety of cruises available, catering to different preferences and experiences. Opt for a Thames Sightseeing Cruise for a comprehensive tour of London's landmarks, or choose the Uber Boat By Thames Clippers Hop-On Hop-Off Tour in London for flexibility in exploration. For a romantic evening, indulge in the Evening Cruise on River Thames with sparkling wine and live music.
• Each cruise offers varying durations and inclusions. Select from options ranging from 1 to 2 hours, with offerings such as meals, live commentary, and unlimited beverages(wine, tea or soft drinks!). For a leisurely experience, consider the Thames Afternoon Tea Cruise , providing a delightful spread of tea-time treats as you cruise along the river.
• Feast your eyes on the beautiful sights of London, but don't run on empty! If you'd like to have lunch while sightseeing, Thames River Lunch Cruise Ticket is for you! Choose from a delectable menu, consisting of Thyme, Rosemary and Lemon Roasted Supreme of Chicken with Creamy Leek, Tarragon and Mushroom Sauce served with Dauphinoise Potato and Seasonal Vegetables. White, Dark and Milk Chocolate Truffle Cake with Raspberry Sauce, and more! Vegetarian? Worry not, you can opt for Baked Field Mushroom Filled with Artichokes, Asparagus and Crème Fraiche wrapped in Lattice Pastry served with Dauphinoise Potato and Seasonal Vegetables, along with the beverages instead!
