One of the best ways to get to know London is from the water. This Westminster to Greenwich sightseeing cruise glides along the Thames from Westminster and shows you the city's most celebrated riverside landmarks in about an hour.

Leaving Westminster, you pass the London Eye, Tate Modern, St Paul's Cathedral and much more. Live onboard commentary and an audio guide you can download to your phone add extra insight as you go. The cruise ends in Greenwich, overlooking the Royal Park, the National Maritime Museum and the Old Royal Naval College.

The return journey

If you choose the return option, you drift back down the Thames after a short pause in Greenwich and see the sights from a new perspective. If you would like time to explore Greenwich and its park, the one-way option is a good start.
