A very enjoyable experience and well worth the money. The manager at the Greenwich Peninsula end was very helpful ensuring I had the right tickets for myself and granddaughter. Great value and great enjoyment. Thanks.

Great experience in the glass bottom cable car. The views of London were very good. Lovely staff especially Razvan who helped with our ticket etc and made sure we accessed the correct cabin with the glass floor. Definatly do it again,maybe with the karaoke. 🤣

Visited this as it was adjacent to the O2, and looked interesting. As others have said it's not about the destination (boarding from the O2 side, not much to do at the other end), more about the journey! Good views of the Thames, London City Airport, Thames barrier, etc. Well organised and not busy when we visited. There is a well hidden cafe around the back at the O2 end with childrens play area. Not sure why this is not promoted by TFL / First Group.
Hi, thank you for your review. We are glad to hear that you had good views of the Thames and enjoyed the café. We appreciate the feedback about more promotion by TFL / First Group. We hope to see you again soon. ^ MES.
Cost was acceptable. Was a bit shorter than I expected. it was however a pleasant relaxing ride we all enjoyed. Views were good and just a short walk to the uber boat which we also used. I would recommend and would probably go again with other family members.
Hi. We are so glad to hear that you had a pleasant experience. We hope to see you again . JL

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear that you had a very nice experience and that Marc was able to provide helpful tips and advice. We'll be sure to pass on your kind comments to him. We hope to welcome you again soon.
The cable car is located near O2 - where there is shopping and restaurants in addition to arena events (North Greenwich Station on the Jubilee Line). The ride is very smooth with great views - but be forewarned that there is little to do on the opposite side. No worries, lots to do on the O2 side. If not crowded, they make a point of allowing small groups or couples to have a cable car to themselves - nice touch! Thoroughly enjoyed this ride which is also a good value!
Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the cable car ride, the smooth journey and the great views. It's also wonderful to know that you appreciated having a cabin to yourselves. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another enjoyable trip.
