A wonderful way to celebrate a birthday

As the weather was good and it was my birthday, my wife and I decided to go on a riverboat trip from Westminster Pier to Greenwich and back. It was a fantastic outing, with great views of the River Thames embankments, and with superb and hilarious commentary from one of the crew aboard the boat. I would do it again every year ... weather-permitting!!

Summer days drifting up river best way to take time out and still see the sites.

Lovely way to spend an hour or more. We took the ferry from Westminster bridge. No need to prebook just grab a ticket at the dockside. Ferries leave every 20 minutes and take around an hour to head down to Greenwich. The first mate did a fab job of being a tour guide filing us in on the sites and river traditions. Learnt loads and it was so lovely to see the city from a different angle.

Fantastic trip!!

We booked ahead for the trip on a cold February morning! The boat was easy to find, we came from Westminster tube and out towards big Ben, then the west minster pier is just down the steps. The cruise wasn't really busy but it did a couple of pick ups and drop off on the way to Greenwich, I'd highly recommend the trip down to Greenwich though. The trip was great and the captain was absolutely brilliant (we went Feb 6th), he was SO informative and we learnt so much about the river and London. We had our 13 and 9 year old with us and they both enjoyed it. As above I'd recommend going all the way to Greenwich, it's got a lovely market and the maritime museum was really good. We walked to the park and up to the royal Observatory, worth the trip just for the views back over the city's of London were amazing. We didn't get the boat back but came back on the DLR line instead which was nice to come back on a train through the buildings we had seen from the river coming in. We booked the cruise last minute to kill a bit of time after 4 days of being in London and it was the kids favourite part. The captain really made it for us with the commentary, super interesting.

Fun on the water!

We were staying at the Viking Venus Cruise in Greenwich and did our own tour of the Ceremony of the Keys, we took the Uber/boat cruise from Greenwich to Buckingham Palace and back on the River Thames. It was a lovely cruise and we enjoyed the sunset as well as the Moon rise that night.
