The experience

This ticket splits your day between two vantage points. The river pass gives you unlimited boarding on Uber Boat throughout the day. You pick the stops and the pace, moving between Cutty Sark at Greenwich, the Thames Barrier, Battersea Power Station, the Houses of Parliament, Somerset House, St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower of London. Indoor seating and covered outdoor areas keep you comfortable between stops. The cable car adds the aerial half: a roundtrip crossing above the Thames from North Greenwich, with views of the O2 Arena and the Olympic Park spreading below.

The pass is valid for the full day you select, so you're not locked into a schedule. Boarding is first come, first served at any of the piers between Putney and Barking Riverside. Children from age 5 can travel, and the boats and piers are wheelchair accessible (though three piers (Cadogan, London Bridge City and Wandsworth Riverside Quarter) can become too steep depending on the tide). Service animals are welcome, and infants can travel in a pram or stroller.

You choose between two options at checkout: the River Roamer with cable car access, or the Family Pass if you're traveling with children. Food and beverages are available for purchase on the boats and at cable car stations. Present your printed or e-ticket at any pier to start.

Do I need to book specific times for the boat or cable car, or can I just show up?

The pass gives you unlimited travel for the day you select, and boarding is based on first come, first served, so you don't need to book specific times. Just present your ticket at any pier or cable car station.
