Do I need to book for under 4s?

Children aged 4 and under travel free. Free travel for under-5s, up to two free children per paying adult.

Are tickets cheaper online?

Yes, online and app fares are cheaper than walk-up fares at the pier for Hop-on Hop-off tickets. For example, a 1 Day adult Hop-on Hop-off ticket is £27.90 online or in the app and £31.00 at the pier. Official ticket information also states you can save by booking online, via the app, or using Oyster or contactless.

Do I need a time slot?

No, Hop-on Hop-off tickets are valid for the booked travel date rather than a single departure time. Boarding is first come, first served, so you should arrive at least 5 minutes before your intended sailing. Exact departure times vary by pier and timetable.

Is parking free or how much does it cost?

Parking is not included with your ticket. Parking arrangements vary by pier.

Is the site cashless?

Yes, the site is verified as cashless.

What is not included?

Your ticket does not include entry to attractions, ground transport or parking. It covers river travel only on the eligible Uber Boat by Thames Clippers services for the ticket purchased. Any sightseeing venue or onward journey costs are separate.

How will I receive my tickets?

Online tickets are issued as a PDF ticket that you can show on your device before boarding. At staffed piers, ticket inspections are carried out during pre-boarding. There is no need to print if your ticket can be displayed clearly on your phone.

What proof is needed for a free carer?

If you require a companion or carer when travelling, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers offers a free ticket for your carer. To receive this, simply provide proof of disability when purchasing your ticket at a pier, or ensure you have the appropriate documentation ready if booking online. Accepted forms of proof include an Access Card (widely accepted and often preferred), Disabled Freedom Pass, Blue Badge, Personal Independence Payment (PIP) documents, Disability Living Allowance (DLA) documents, National Disability Card (DID Card), Disabled Person Railcard, or a Sunflower Lanyard.
