Ride the London Cable Car round trip above the Thames for sweeping views of The O2, Canary Wharf, and East London landmarks.
About this tour
See London from a fresh perspective on a round-trip ride above the River Thames. The London Cable Car carries you between Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks, rising as high as 90 metres for sweeping views across East London.
Each journey takes around 10 minutes. Look out for The O2, Canary Wharf, St Paul’s Cathedral, the Thames Barrier, Maritime Greenwich, and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as the city unfolds below. The quiet glide makes this an easy way to take in the skyline, capture photos, or add a memorable crossing to your day. Your round-trip ticket lets you enjoy the ride in both directions, with an onsite café at the Greenwich Peninsula Terminal.
The London Cable Car is wheelchair accessible, and bicycles are accepted at all times. Choose this London Cable Car round trip for an elevated look at the river and its landmarks, then enjoy the views all over again on the return journey.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.45 from 192 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in London
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 4.9.
