As the capital city of England, London offers plenty of options for visitors. For impressive history, art and culture, shopping and beautiful palaces and parks, London is in a class of its own.
With so much to see, if your time is limited, then a cruise along the river Thames in London is a relaxing way to cross a few famous sights off your list. Boats sail in all weathers and seasons and most have indoor and outdoor seating areas from which to enjoy the views. Thames river boats weave their way through the heart of London giving unbroken views of iconic buildings such as The Tower of London, The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, St Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern art gallery.
Catch a boat from Westminster Pier and let it take you south east along the sweep of the river to Greenwich, where historic buildings by Christopher Wren sit in stunning parkland opposite modern architecture such as Canary Wharf across the river in Docklands.
To enjoy the many sights of London in a relaxing and unhurried fashion, splashing out on a Thames river cruise is highly recommended.
