It was a truly great ride. We got to see so many famous landmarks along the way. The best part of the whole experience was definitely the nice, pleasant weather we had out on the water, especially considering it was a hot day. I would absolutely recommend this to other people. 10/10 with rice on the side. I will take Uber boat again on my upcoming visit to london.

I caught the Uber Boat from Putney Pier to North Greenwich - the end of the line. It was a very enjoyable journey, passing many iconic buildings and landmarks along the Thames. There was a two minute walk from the Greenwich Pier to the cable car entry and the view from the cable car at 90 metres above the river was incredible. Great value for money, the Headout tickets for both experiences worked perfectly, so I recommend this combo highly.

With departures from Putney to Woolwich across twenty piers, choose a single journey or hop on and off to build your perfect London route on an Uber boat.

Single journey tickets cover piers from Battersea Power Station to Barking Riverside, giving straightforward access across London’s Central and East zones.

Choose a hop on hop off upgrade and move between piers freely, using frequent departures to sightsee London comfortably at your own pace.

From the water, spot the Houses of Parliament, London Eye, Shakespeare’s Globe, the Shard, and a constantly changing city skyline.

With climate controlled interiors and sheltered outdoor seating, the boats make sightseeing comfortable in sunshine, wind, or rain.

Best for: Second-time visitors and people looking for scenic commutes without commentary

It was a really enjoyable ride. The hop on hop off experience was wonderful as it was used to travel around and get back. It was also very relaxing and a great day out.

The trip was wonderful and the crew was friendly. I took it from Millbank to Greenwich. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes, but it was totally worth it.
