3.Westminster to Tower Bridge River Thames Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 6,127 reviews · 30 minutes - 1 hour · from $18

Cruise from Westminster to Butler’s Wharf for open-deck Thames views, live commentary, major London sights, and an easy, good-value ride.

“Absolutely awesome. Very entertaining guide. Good beer on tap. Just watch out, the guide isn’t paid from your ticket. Have some cash to tip him. Its worth it. Also, the ending point is not Tower Bridge Pier but Butler’s Wharf so keep that in mind if yOu plan to visit The Tower Of London right after. It will take you about 20-30 minutes to get there.”
