Several operators run sightseeing cruises on the Thames, with commentary on the sights along the way. City Cruises and Thames River Sightseeing sail from piers including Westminster, the London Eye area, Tower and Greenwich, and some operators offer lunch, afternoon tea and dinner cruises. Book on the operators’ own websites, and check routes and timetables, which vary by season. Some cruises are hop-on hop-off, so you can combine them with sights along the river.
