Westminster to Tower Bridge Cruise

Half an hour on the Thames from Westminster Pier to Tower Bridge, with live commentary from the crew. The boat passes the London Eye, St Paul’s Cathedral, Shakespeare’s Globe, Tate Modern, the Shard and the Tower of London, and ends at Butler’s Wharf Pier on the south bank beside Tower Bridge. It is rated 4.5 from 6,739 reviews.

Recent guests liked that the information was “presented in a somewhat humorous way” and that the guide was “super fun”. You can sit on the open-air deck or in the heated indoor saloon, and there are toilets and a bar on board. An audio guide in several languages plays through the operator’s app.

Practical points from the listing: choose one way or a return; on a return you change boats at Butler’s Wharf and can take any later sailing back to Westminster that day. Exact times vary with the tide, and if a boat reaches capacity before you board you are asked to take a later one.

The price is from US$19 a person (checked October 2026), with free cancellation up to 24 hours before. For the longer run on to Greenwich, see the Westminster to Greenwich boat; for how the routes compare, how long each cruise takes.
