About

A classic open top boat past the London Eye, the Globe, Tower Bridge and on to Greenwich, with a running commentary that covers thirty odd landmarks without ever feeling like a lecture. It is the easiest way to see the river's whole stretch of skyline in one sitting, and boarding at Westminster Pier puts you right beside Big Ben before you even leave the dock. Buy a round trip ticket and hop off at Greenwich for the markets and the Cutty Sark before catching a later boat back.
