depart daily from various points along the Thames in the
summer. (A limited service operates during winter). The most
popular stretch lies between Westminster and Tower Bridge, but
the journey upriver to Hampton Court is equally stunning.
Don't worry about booking a ticket in advance. Just turn up
and buy your ticket at the pier you wish to travel from.
