Lovely experience with the family. Went is school holidays but not busy so was able to have our own cable car both ways.
A breathtaking view, especially at sunset. Thrills guaranteed if you have a fear of heights.
I really enjoyed getting the cable cars as a form of transport enjoying the view over the Thames and seeing the lovely landmarks from the top it was an amazing ride.
We went on a hot summer day and the cable car was shut down due to the heat. Unfortunately we couldn’t get back and had to take the train back to where we come from. There is no option for the ride back to be refunded. Unfortunately there was no further information of the cable car closing down in advance. The view was nevertheless amazing.
Unique cable far ride over thames river. 90 m above the river. 360 degree view of london . Price around 15 pound . 20 to 30 minutes ride , car can fit 6 people.
Great experience on a very hot summers day
This was our first proper time coming to London sightseeing and this was the very first time doing an activity like this. Staff seemed to be well organised and had a system going on which was great. Views were great could see everything. The price was great just a shame it wasn’t for longer otherwise I would have give 5 star. Overall myself and my son both enjoyed ourselves. Thank you!
What a great experience on a beautiful summers day. Both me and my children thoroughly enjoyed it. Very friendly welcoming staff, easy to navigate and we all enjoyed the ride
Hi. Thank you for letting us know about your great experience with your children. Hope to see you again soon. JL
Excellent experience for 30 pupils and 5 teachers on a school trip. Not busy during the day and there were no queues. We received a discounted rate due to the size of the group. The staff seemed friendly and it is definitely worth the experience.
Hi there, Glad to hear you all enjoyed your experience and the staff were helpful. Thank you for your review and hope to see you again. MES
Our first time on the Thames cable car, crossing the river to arrive at Greenwich via 1 stop westbound on the Uber boat. What a hoot! Lovely, capable staff, minimal to no wait time, and, of course, amazing 360 degree panoramic views over the Thames and London. And at £7 for adult single, or £13.50 return, it's good value too. Access was easy, up ramp or stairs or lift. I have a dodgy knee, so we took the lift. Phew!
