Great way to see London.
We were staying in Greenwich and headed to Battersea Pier. This due to being a very hot day and rather than DLR and Tube we took the boat which takes around an hour to get from A to B. Plenty of sights to view like Tower Bridge/ Tower of London, London Bridge etc. Riverside pubs and good views of Embankment and the South Bank. A really smooth Journey and on the day we traveled still very warm on the boat but not claustrophobic, smooth and relaxing.

Chaos- do not recommend
Absolutely unorganized chaos. Waited in line zig zagged and then got told to wait for the next boat 15 min later with a toddler in the baking sun. Abdi and lily onboard don’t know their bow from stern, disgusting attitudes from people in a service industry professional like uber. What a waste of time and money.

Staff will fine you instead of helping you
My wife is vulnerable, she had an offer from the The big red hop on and off bus to use a river boat, she showed this QR code to the staff, of which they allowed her on the Boat. Then she was approached by staff again saying it was the correct ticket and charged her £75 on the spot!! An absolute rip off, im fuming, the member of staff did not want to help and just fine! She would have paid the fair, she didn't realise it was the wrong boat, the staff could have stopped her feom boarding! But no, you fine her...disgraceful
Response from the operator: Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear about your experience. If you would like us to investigate the circumstances of this journey, please contact us at web@thamesclippers.com with further details and a member of our team will be happy to review the matter. Kind regards, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Customer Communications Team

Too expensive, unpleasant staff and very restrictive concession fare policy. Don't use
They have a policy which deliberately makes it difficult for the aged to get concessionary fares,with only 2 London focussed bits.of id being acceptable. Though many of the staff are very polite and helpful, there is a small minority who are rude, ignorant of the service and unhelpful. The exhaust fumes can be very heavy, especially inside at the back, a Ch that the experience is ruined. It's not worth the money. Needs new management
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for reaching out to us at Uber Boat by Thames Clippers. We are sorry to hear you say you were disappointed with the concession fares available, if not already done so, please reach out to us via our contact us page on our website and our team will be able to support you further. Kind regards Uber Boat by Thames Clippers Team

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers cost?
+
Prices start at $11 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 Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers 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 Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 229 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 Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers?
+
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 Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers 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 Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers?
+
Around 80 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 Roundtrip Thames Cruise Uber Boat by Thames Clippers 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.
