Loved the ease and flow of the Thames River Cruise, as well as the ability to get on at multiple pier points at any time of the day. The London I was worried cause I was late for my 7:30pm booking, I was still allowed and able to get on past the booked time. The views at sunset and seeing the lights come on over London 10/10!

Writing Excellent Experience with Headout We had a fantastic experience using Headout to book our tickets for the London Eye and Thames River Cruise. The booking process was quick, easy, and straightforward, and everything went smoothly on the day. The tickets were convenient to access, and both experiences were enjoyable and well organised. The London Eye offered spectacular views of London, while the Thames River Cruise was a wonderful way to see the city from a different perspective. We were very happy with the service from Headout and would definitely use them again for future attractions and experiences. Highly recommended!

London Eye (11 a.m.); - We got on really quickly; the cabin was very relaxed with just under 15 people Boat tour: - The upper deck was pretty crowded, but there were still a few seats in the middle - The tour guide was pretty funny - Prices at the bar were okay

A visit to the Cutty Sark is interesting, but going to the Royal Observatory is fascinating—especially the view from the top. And it’s definitely worth taking the boat ride along the Thames to get there.

The Greenwich Observatory is a must-see that you can't find anywhere else in the world! 4 out of 5 stars—only because the section dedicated to astronomy is unfortunately closed until 2027.

A good value combo and a very good way to sightsee London's most iconic attractions and buildings beside the River Themes. Would recommend. Especially because the river cruise ticket is flexible; you can board at any time that day at any of the 4 piers listed. I don't know why it asks you to book a time slot for the cruise. I was very relieved when I realised this because I would have missed the cruise otherwise.

Explore the best of London with this combo, combining a visit to the Royal Observatory Greenwich with a relaxing Thames sightseeing cruise.

See the historic Octagon Room, gaze through the Great Equatorial Telescope, and stand on the Prime Meridian Line.

Enjoy a Thames cruise with live or multilingual audio commentary, plus views of the Tower of London, Big Ben, and the Houses of Parliament.

Go beyond the Prime Meridian! Upgrade to the Royal Museums Greenwich Day Pass to include entry to the Cutty Sark, the Queen's House and the National Maritime Museum.
