About Uber Boat by Thames Clipper
You've travelled by Uber plenty of times, right? Whether it is for a night out, to work, or to your local cinema, maybe you've ordered Uber Eats for your family take-out night or when you're really fancying a sweet treat or a Maccies. But have you ever travelled by Uber Boat?! I bet you haven't, but I know you want to (we definitely do!).
Uber Boat is a new, innovative, and fun way to commute in London. Situated on the River Thames, Uber has partnered with Thames Clippers River, known for its tradition of safe and reliable travel on the river. Think of it as a London river bus. It can be your new way to commute to work or simply a new way to travel to your next sightseeing destination on your trip to the big capital!
Things To Do
You can ride on any of the 24 select piers across London and feel the Thames River breeze in your hair as you travel in style. Take in the stunning views of London, too, and visit the World-famous London landmarks such as Tower Bridge, Maritime Greenwich, London Bridge, London Eye, Canary Wharf, Westminster Abbey, Battersea Power Station, and plenty more. Get ready to discover the city by river!
If you're in London, why not book your Uber Boat tickets with us and travel with style? Select which pier you would like to travel from out of the 24 select piers, and head on over to it. Then wait there for your scheduled time for the service, and hop on board once it arrives! You can sit back and relax because you'll be guaranteed a comfortable seat. Uber Boat will never accept more passengers than available seats, so there is no need to stress about that.
There is plenty of space for you to relax, whether you hop on board from Westminster Pier, North Greenwich Pier, Barking Riverside Pier, Victoria Embankment Woolwich Pier or any departure pier near you, which is one of the 24 selected Uber Boat piers. There are also facilities on board, like your morning coffee or a glass of wine, AND you can access free Wi-Fi. Uber Boats are also pram-accessible and wheelchair accessible, with electronic wheelchairs and folding wheelchairs allowed on the boat.
Food & Drink
Fancy a quick snack or a comforting drink? Head to the onboard Cafe Bar for cookies, chocolates, cakes, hot drinks, soft drinks, and alcoholic drinks! They also have some vegan snacks.
Whether you use Uber for business or to get around, make this your new transportation. Simple! Ready to make your commute or travelling easier and much more enjoyable? Road traffic? Never heard of it. Travel by Uber Boat instead!
