Thames High-Speed Zone Speedboat in London

A short high-speed boat trip on the River Thames, made in a rigid-inflatable boat with a skipper and a guide who narrates the route past several well-known London landmarks.

This is a 45-minute outing on the River Thames aboard a modern rigid-inflatable boat, travelling at speeds of up to 56 km/h (35 mph). An experienced skipper handles the vessel, while a guide offers commentary on the city's history as the boat moves along the water.

The route passes Tower Bridge, The O2 arena and the Canary Wharf district, and the guide's talk links these sights to the story of the capital. Numbers are limited to 12 people, which keeps the group small throughout the crossing.

It suits anyone who wants a brief, fast view of London from the river, whether as a visitor passing through or as someone curious about the city's waterfront. The trip starts and ends in London.
