Is there a way to go for a boat ride on the Thames in London without paying loads

Like on the public boats?

Yes, the Thames clipper.

Possibly now sponsored by Uber.

You can go on the Thames clippers. I think they may be run by Uber now. Website is www.thamesclippers.com.

Clipper (Uber?)

Yeah I would do the Thames clipper abs possibly emirates sky cars for a nice day out

Th aks I’ll go for Thames clipper then
Can I get it from around the Big Ben area then go on the river under the tower bridge then back again ?

You can get it from by the London Eye to Docklands and go on the DLR. Or get off at the Tower of London.

Uber boat - take it to Greenwich and take the tube back ... we picked it up by the London eye

I’m not sure if they still do it as we’ve found their deals more limited since covid , but if you have Tesco club card vouchers we used them for a family ticket a few years ago .
We went from Greenwich all the way up to Westminster .

You can ride for free on the Woolwich ferry.

Ok thanks
I’m trying to get form Big Ben under tower bridge then end up at Skye gardens

Thanks for info

If you fall in a Police Launch will pick you up - hopefully. But I think they used to pump your stomach out too, so best to fall in before that pricey lunch.

Yep, you can get on at Westminster Pier and go down to Tower Bridge and back again. In the right tides, you can also go to Hampton Court Palace.

Yes. Get on at Millbank or Westminster and then straight down to the Tower and walk back a bit.

Every 30 mins- the timetables are a bit off at the moment. Tip-get on at Millbank you will get a good choice of seats (Most people get on on London Eye or Westminster)

Brilliant thanks so much

Why did they pump peoples stomachs ? Due to the amount of sewage in there or something ? Or dead bodies ?

The water was so polluted. It's not now. I believe there is the occasional salmon and you might get bitten by a seal (all free!)

Bloody hell 🤣🤣

The water is very brown at the moment

Extinction Rebellion dont seem to be finding it a problem as the police and RNLI go in to save them
