Ferry Activities

1. A Map

   Thames River Services

   • London, England
   • Activities › Ferry

   These cruise boats leave Westminster Pier for Greenwich, stopping at the Tower of London. Every second service continues on from Greenwich to the Thames Barrier (one way adult/child £10.40/5.20, return £12.80/6.40, hourly 11.30am to 3.30pm) but does not land there, passing the O2 along the way. From Westminster it’s a two-hour round trip to Greenwich, three hours to the Thames Barrier; from Greenwich the round trip to the barrier takes one hour. From November to March there’s a reduced service from Westminster to Greenwich, with eight daily departures between 10.40am and 3.20pm.

   Ferry to Betim

   • Panaji (Panjim), India
   • Activities › Ferry

   If you’re in the mood for something less slick than a full-blown cruise, hop aboard the overloaded ferry across the Mandovi to Betim, shoulder to shoulder with scores of bustling locals. Though there’s nothing much to do when you get there except to turn around and head back again, it’s worth it for the riverine view of Panaji and the workaday atmosphere.

   Thames River Boats

   • Activities › Ferry

   These boats go upriver from Westminster Pier to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew (1½ hours) and on to Hampton Court Palace (another 1½ hours, noon boat only). It’s possible to get off the boats at Richmond but it depends on the tides; check before you sail.
