What People are Saying

We had a enjoyable experience with family in the upper deck. We took a ride from Westminster Pier to Tower Pier and returned. The staffs are very friendly and nice. The Guy who gave a lively commentary about the history of River Thames and the buildings around. We enjoyed his entertaining speech. Don't miss the chance if you are near River Thames. - Kiruthikarany Sethu
Loved every minute of the experience. Booked the Westminster pier to Greenwich cruise in advance for the 11.20 trip, but we arrived early and allowed to get on board on the 10.40 instead. Commentary was informative and yet so funny. It's a great way to see London all around the river Thames. I sat on the right-hand side, and here are some of the beautiful views along the way. - Lina Kristianti
Evening Jazz Cruise. What a brilliant evening out. Includes a three course dinner and a welcoming glass of fizz. - Stuart Finch

What do I need to know before visiting London?

If you’re planning a trip to London, be ready to have an amazing time! From the best time to visit, to what to pack and where to stay, here’s a few things you need to know before your trip. One of the best times to visit London is in the spring or autumn when the weather is mild and there are fewer crowds. However, if you’re visiting during peak season (May-August), be prepared for larger crowds. September and October are also excellent months to visit as the leaves begin to change color and there are still plenty of tourist attractions open. When packing for your trip, be sure to bring comfortable walking shoes as you’ll be doing a lot of sightseeing. Layering is also key as the weather can change throughout the day. London is an expensive city, so be sure to budget accordingly.
