Thames Teasers
Ends 31 May 2020 at 11:59 PM
We know you’re missing being out and about exploring London by River Bus, we are too. But we’ll be back soon, and in the meantime, we have collated some Thames Teasers to help you and your family learn more about the river, stay safe and stay entertained in these unusual times.
We’d love to see how you’re getting on too! Share your solutions, origami boats and drawings on social with @thamesclippers and remember to use #ThamesTeasers!

Join us on a virtual boat tour
Did you miss the virtual river tour that we hosted on our Twitter feed @thamesclippers? The tour followed our RB1 service from Woolwich (Royal Arsenal) Pier to Battersea Power Station Pier in a series of tweets sharing beautiful photos of the river, videos, facts, links to 24h webcams in London but also links to 360 degree virtual tours for some of the attractions along the river. It’s not too late, you can set sail on your own time. Click here for the virtual river tour.
Make a cardboard clipper
Do you have cardboard piling up from all the delivery boxes received during lockdown? What about using them to create a cardboard clipper? On your own or with your kids, are you up to the challenge?
Our cardboard clipper competition has now ended, but it's still a fun activity to do during confinement.
Spot the difference?
Look carefully at these two images of our Hunt Class vessels at our home port Trinity Buoy Wharf which is just across the Thames from The O2. Can you spot the 10 differences in the two images?
Fold your own paper boat
