The River Thames is London’s lifeblood. Running through the heart of the city, it is the best way to understand the city as it was and as it is. Why not hop on at Westminster Pier? Here, you can see the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, maybe the defining symbol of the city.

Then, let the river take you down to London Eye Pier, where you can see the city from above by riding the London Eye itself. It’s also only a short walk from here to the South Bank, which is full of cultural and culinary delights.

Hop off at the next stop, Tower Pier, the perfect alighting point for Tower Bridge and the Tower of London. Check out the crown jewels in the Tower and cross the world-famous bridge.

Disembark at Greenwich Pier to visit the Cutty Sark, once one of the world’s fastest tea clippers in the world and the Royal Observatory, in the beautiful Greenwich Park, where you can stand astride the Greenwich Meridian Line.
