About the experience
See London in style on a ‘Break the Barrier’ RIB boat ride (Adult Ticket) along the Thames River. The trip will take you from Bankside Pier along to the Thames barrier and back. You can all enjoy as you see the landmarks of the capital as you speed along the river on your 45-minute ride. There are so many great sights to see, including The Shard, Tower Bridge, Canary Wharf, Greenwich University, Royal Observatory, Cutty Sark, 02 Arena and the Thames Barrier. The Thames Barrier spans across the River Thames, preventing central London from flooding, and is one of the world's largest movable flood barriers. The huge structures standing in the water are sure to wow you. There is a reason this is TripAdvisor's number one attraction in London, so hold on tight and enjoy this fast ride along the Thames.
