About

Your personal guide to London
Founded by Sean Collins and Alan Woods, our high-speed River Bus service started on 24 May 1999. Captained by Sean, Storm Clipper ferried passengers from Greenland (Surrey Quays) Pier to Savoy Pier (now Woods Quay). Uber Boat by Thames Clippers has recently expanded its fleet with the addition of three new hybrid vessels. Equipped with innovative hybrid technology, the new boats can operate on battery power while in central London and recharge while using biofuelled power on the rest of their journey. This investment reflects Thames Clippers' ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability, further enhancing its role in supporting London's environmentally-friendly transport infrastructure. For the past 25 years the business has been at the forefront of innovation for the river marine sector and is committed to supporting the sustainable growth of infrastructure and economic development on and around the river to ensure its long-term importance to Greater London.

We loved seeing London from the water. It was so peaceful being out of the hubbub of the crowds on the roads and the streets. We began at the Westminster stop where we saw Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, etc. My husband, a big Shakespeare lover, loved seeing the Shakespeare Globe, which he went to see the next day, as we didn't have time that day. We got out at Greenwich, where inside a large park-like setting, we toured the large and wonderful Visitors' Centre. We tried on costumes of the Royal Navy and knight's in armors' accessories, saw a Chocolate House, and rooms that looked just like they did during the Royal Navy days.There was a gift shop and a tea and pastry shop. That is to name just some of the things to see there. Outside, was the most beautiful carousel I've ever encountered. My husband & I rode on it, as did many others. Right near it, there was a huge, very old and very picturesque ship called the Cutty Sark.

A beautiful way to see London at night. The city’s landmarks look incredible lit up from the Thames, and the whole experience feels calm, cosy, and unexpectedly magical. Warm seating, smooth ride, and just the right amount of commentary. Passing under Tower Bridge was the highlight the lights reflecting on the water were stunning. A perfect winter activity if you want to see London from a completely different perspective.

Just be aware that this is not just a cruise, rather it is taxi that will stop at multiple ducking locations to embark and disembark the riders. Read the description and what you should expect of the tour on Viator web site.

This tour takes travelers comfortably on the Thames River where bridges are illuminated at night. There are restaurants nearby, convenient for a bite before the tour. The boat is modern and seating is comfortable.

Uber boat is one of the best choice to see all the iconic landmarks in one day. We had a one day pass and it was all worth it.

The sights themselves were beautiful at night - very lovely to see everything lit up. However, we got in line early in order to get seating on the outside deck for the best views. Unfortunately, despite there being posted signs on the deck to stay seated/no standing, people came out from inside and stood all around the seating area so that no one sitting on the deck could see. Everyone who was seated had to get out of their seats in order to have just partial views. This was very frustrating and I felt that someone on the crew should have enforced the rule as to not ruin the experience for other patrons. I would not recommend this tour for this reason. If you are okay with sitting inside for partial views then it might be worth it.

Unfortunately despite being advised to arrive at 9.15pm it was 9.40 before we set off, leaving a long time stood queuing. They use an external party to do the commentary and I think she was a bit cross as she had to rush the start to catch up as we’d already reached the first bridge. That said, the tour was informative and contained useful and sometimes humorous facts about London bridges and architecture. An enjoyable way to spend an evening viewing the beautiful bridges illuminated as part of this interesting project.

A general taxi-boat used for a special trip. Seats are facing in the wrong direction. Unable to have a view without neck insury. Bad soundsystem so the guide is a blur. So much lights pointing inwards that taking pictures of London by night is impossible. You won't see anything that cannot be seen from the riverbanks. Add to this the constant smell of petrol gasses and the experience is complete.

Not an open-air boat so views and photo shots are limited and impeded by the ceilings/eaves. Narration was good but hard to discern unless you sit inside. Windows were dirty so couldn’t take photos from inside. Would suggest using an open-air boat with seats on top to maximize photo opportunities. Also, better audio to hear narrator.
