The experience
The Thames Clippers boat runs between the Central and East zones, so you can hop on at Battersea Power Station, Westminster, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf or any of the piers in between, and get off wherever you want. The boat has indoor seating and covered outdoor areas, and a free river guide is available online if you want to know what you're passing. The nearest pier to the London Cable Car is North Greenwich, which sits just across the water from the cable car's North Greenwich station.
The cable car itself is a roundtrip: you board at either North Greenwich or the Royal Docks station, ride across the Thames in an open cabin, and come back the same way. The whole experience is built around flexibility. You choose which pier you start at, how long you spend on the water, and when you head to the cable car. Both services run frequent departures, so there's no fixed schedule to chase. Children from age 5 are welcome, and the boats and cable car are wheelchair accessible with accessible routes to all boarding areas.
Bring your printed or e-ticket to any Uber Boat pier or the cable car station. The ticket is only valid for the date you select, and boarding operates first-come, first-served, so arriving early gives you a better pick of seating on the boat. Food and drinks are available for purchase on both the boat and at the cable car stations if you want to eat while you travel.
Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 15 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.
Can I get on and off the Uber Boat at different piers, or do I have to go all the way to one end?
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers lets you board and disembark at any pier between Battersea Power Station and Barking Riverside within the Central and East zones, so you can break up your journey however you want: ride one stop, get off and explore, then board again later the same day.
Where do I catch the London Cable Car, and how close is it to the river piers?
The London Cable Car has two stations: North Greenwich and the Royal Docks. North Greenwich is the nearest to the Uber Boat piers and sits directly across the Thames, so it's a natural connection point if you're traveling by river.
Is there a set time limit for how long I can use the ticket, or can I spend the whole day on the boat and cable car?
The ticket is valid for the single date you select, and you can use both services as many times as you want within that day. There's no fixed duration or time window once you've boarded.
What's included with this ticket, and what do I need to pay for separately?
The ticket covers your return journey on Uber Boat and your roundtrip on the London Cable Car, plus access to indoor seating and covered outdoor areas on the boat. A free river guide is available online. Food, drinks and any other attraction tickets are separate purchases.
Is the boat accessible if I use a wheelchair, and can I bring a stroller?
Both Uber Boat and the London Cable Car are fully wheelchair accessible with accessible routes to all boarding areas and surfaces. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller, and service animals are allowed on both services.
