Please note the Gravesend and Tilbury leisure trips on both 28 and 29 August are now sold out.
We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

 

Take to the water for a London day out with a difference!

Following our sell-out special sailings earlier in the month, we'll be making two more sailings to/ from Gravesend and Tilbury on 28 and 29 August. From the Estuary towns, you'll be able to travel directly into the heart of capital with fresh air, spectacular views and an onboard café bar.

From Tilbury, the boat will take just 40 minutes to reach Greenwich Peninsula (North Greenwich Pier), or 60 minutes to London Bridge (London Bridge City Pier). Along the way, you'll sail past many of the city's iconic sights including; The Thames Barrier, The O2, The Old Royal Naval College Greenwich, Canary Wharf and under Tower Bridge.

Our River Bus service is the perfect way to get around the capital, as well as bookend your trip into town. With an All Day ticket, you can make unlimited use of our services for the day, turning travel time into part of your London adventure!

Uber Boat by Thames Clippers regular services depart central London piers every 10 - 20 minutes. You'll benefit from a guaranteed seat once you're on board and there's no getting caught in traffic jams, just plain sailing.

Our Gravesend/ Tilbury services will call at North Greenwich and London Bridge City piers only.
