Cruise the Thames on a flexible one-way Uber Boat journey, with indoor seating, covered outdoor areas, and landmark views across London.

About this tour

See London from the water on a one-way Uber Boat by Thames Clippers journey along the River Thames. Your ticket is valid for a single trip between Battersea Power Station and Barking Riverside, so you can choose a pier that suits your plans and explore the city’s Central and East zones.

Settle into an air-conditioned cabin or step into a covered outdoor area as the river carries you past landmarks such as the London Eye, the Tower of London, Canary Wharf, and Greenwich. A free digital River Guide offers more context along the way, while the flexible boarding options make this a scenic alternative for getting around. Food and drinks are available to buy onboard; attraction admission and travel to the pier are not included.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.00 from 1,768 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 2.5.
