If you're looking to take in the fabled sights of London by boat, City Cruises offer an easy way to do some river-based sightseeing. They operate on a hop-on, hop-off basis from four key piers. Westminster Pier gives you a close-up view of Big Ben and House of Parliament, plus easy access to sights like Buckingham Palace. London Eye pier is perfect for Southbank attractions including London Dungeon, Sea Life, and the big wheel itself. Tower Pier plunges you into the city at its most historic, including Tower of London and Tower Bridge. And to the east, Greenwich Pier is full of nautical appeal, including Cutty Sark and National Maritime Museum. Get a 24 hour pass for unlimited one-day cruising, or get a single pass to take the trip of your choice.
Alternatively, take things up a notch with one of City Cruises' speciality trips, which include dining and entertainment. These include Lunch, Dinner and Afternoon Tea cruises with meals served to your table. Or, for something even more extravagant, try the Jazz Dinner Cruise cruise, a three-hour trip down the river accompanied by a swing and latin jazz band. As well the entertainment, there's a three-course meal, and you'll be welcomed aboard with a free glass of fizz.
