Thames Clipper Park and Glide at O2 - itinerary ideas?

I am thinking of a day trip to London with three DCs (12,9 and 6 - 6yo not keen on too much walking) and have discovered the 'Park and Glide' at the O2 where you park for the day at the O2 and then have unlimited travel on the Uber Thames boat.

Would like to plan an itinerary that makes the most of the boat travel and doesn't involve too much walking. Kids have never been to London and I have not been for quite a few years. Does anyone have any suggestions please? I was thinking maybe the lift at the Battersea Power Station and then Embankment for central London sightseeing? Thanks.

You could get off at Tower and take them to the Tower of London.
There’s also lots to do very near to the London Eye pier, such as the aquarium, the graffiti tunnel, Florence Nightingale museum and Jubilee Gardens (which has a decent playground). There are often street performers and mime artists in that area, plus several good eateries and ice cream stops!

Thank you! Not sure the Tower itself is within budget. Do you think it would be worth getting off there anyway and having a look from the outside or would that be pointless? Not heard of the graffiti tunnel before so just googled it, it looks cool.

Don’t bother getting off the boat at the Tower then, you’ll get a good enough view from the river.

Ah ok, thanks very much.
