Route map

Hop-On Hop-Off Thames River Cruise

The Tower of London to the London Eye. Tate Modern to Westminster Bridge. The Hop-On Hop-Off Thames River Cruise puts London's most iconic skyline in front of you. See the city the way it was always meant to be seen: from the water.

Provided by City Cruises, board and disembark the river cruise at any stop along the Yellow Route. Spend as long as you like at the landmarks that catch your eye, then hop back on when you're ready. Cruises run every 40 minutes throughout the day, giving you the freedom to take London at your own pace.

We recommend checking the Yellow Route cruise map and timetable before setting off, particularly during weekends and peak periods.

Timetable

First cruise: 10.00am

Last cruise: 7.40pm

Cruise every 40 minutes
