Traveler reviews
The experience
You start by boarding Uber Boat at any pier in the Central or East zone: departures run roughly every 20 minutes. The high-speed catamarans have climate-controlled indoor cabins, outdoor decks and licensed coffee bars, so you can settle in for a single journey to wherever you're headed along the Thames between Battersea and Barking Riverside. Boarding is first-come, first-served, and the boat's covered areas mean you stay dry in either weather.
From there, you head to the IFS Cloud Cable Car near North Greenwich. At just under 300 feet, it's the highest observation point over the River Thames, and the roundtrip ride carries you between the Greenwich Peninsula (close to The O2) and the Royal Docks (near ExCeL London). On the way across, you see the city's skyline spread out below: Canary Wharf, St Paul's Cathedral, The Shard, The O2 and the Thames Barriers all visible from the cable.
When you land, the ticket includes access to the cable car's interactive spaces: the Selfie Factory, Teddy Workshop and a Virtual Reality experience let you spend as long as you want exploring before heading back across. All piers are step-free and wheelchair accessible (except Cadogan, London Bridge City and Wandsworth Riverside Quarter, where the boarding ramp can become too steep depending on the tide), and the boat and cable car both have accessible seating and surfaces throughout.
