Excellent experience
I am terrified of heights but, after the first couple of minutes I was so taken in by the views, I forgot about my fear.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your amazing review! We are pleased to hear you felt comfortable with travelling on the cable car and our service. Your comments have been shared internally. Kind regards Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

Well worth a visit
Definitely worth a trip Uber taxi trip was great, friendly helpful staff Cable car a bit scary but magnificent views What you see depends on timing, didn’t get to see the beautiful Christmas lights but saw a beautiful sunset instead
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your trip and that the Uber ride was smooth with helpful staff. The cable car can feel a little adventurous, but we’re glad the magnificent views made it worthwhile! Timing really does make a difference, and while we’re sorry you missed the Christmas lights, it’s wonderful that you got to enjoy a beautiful sunset instead. We hope to welcome you back soon for another memorable visit! Warm regards Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

We had to wait for nearly...
We had to wait for nearly 40 minutes as the first Uber boat which left the Battersea Power station at 1302 didn’t allow one of us who was wheelchair bound. The next boat was for Tower Bridge so couldn’t board and waited for another 20 minutes. Rest of the trip was great.

This is the worst ever...
This is the worst ever The cable car is very far from London so you don’t see any of the city. When we arrived, the whole thing was stopped for 2 hours due to a boat that was an hour away Uber boat back stopped to pump out sewage for twenty minutes The boats are stuffy and not pleasant Very bad experience Wanna my money back!!!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise cost?
+
Prices start at $12 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 151 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise?
+
Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London: London Cable Car + Uber Boat One Way River Thames Cruise start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
