This flexible river ticket lets you travel between four central London piers — Westminster, London Eye, Tower (of London) and Greenwich — boarding and disembarking at any of them. You can plan your own route along the Thames and combine short hops with longer stretches to explore riverside sights at your own pace.

Along the way you’ll have easy access to many of London’s most recognisable landmarks, including Big Ben, the London Eye, the historic Tower of London and modern icons such as The Shard and The Gherkin. The captain will provide entertaining English commentary on board, or you can choose to listen using the multilingual app commentary. This gives you context about the places you pass as you move between piers and step off to visit nearby attractions.
