Westminster to Greenwich Sightseeing Thames Cruise in London

A sightseeing cruise on the River Thames, sailing from Westminster Pier to Greenwich, with live audio commentary on the historic sights passed along the way.

This is a river sightseeing trip on the Thames. The boat leaves from Westminster Pier, close to the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, and travels downriver to Greenwich. Along the route, live audio commentary points out London's historic landmarks as they come into view, so passengers hear about the sights while they are on the water.

Because the journey is made from the boat itself, there is no walking or activity to prepare for; passengers board at the pier and follow the commentary from the river. A round-trip ticket is available as an alternative to the one-way journey, which allows passengers to return to Westminster by the same route.

The cruise suits visitors who are new to London and want an overview of its well-known sights seen from the water, as well as anyone curious about the city's riverside history. It is a simple way to see the centre of the capital without planning a route on land.
