Welcome

1

The River Thames plays a vital role as both an artery for transporting people through the heart of London and as a playground for people to explore the wonders of our city.

Travelling on the Thames is a fantastic experience that reveals 2,000 years of history whether you are commuting on the River Bus or are taking a leisurely River Tour.

We’re making a raft of improvements to get more people on to the River and there’s never been a better time to make the most of what London’s greatest thoroughfare has to offer.

Buying your ticket Most operators offer advance bookings via their website or by phone. Alternatively please purchase your ticket at the pier prior to travelling.

Passengers using Oyster pay as you go do not need to queue at the ticket office and will pay the lower Oyster pay as you go fare rather than the standard fare. Please ensure you have sufficient pay as you go credit on your card before arriving at the pier as it is not possible to top up at piers.
