 Go to work by boat

Tired of uncomfortable travel? The Thames Clipper is the smart way to travel between Central London and Greenwich. It offers a fast and reliable service that never gets held up by road, rail or weather problems.
Services run Monday to Sunday from Woolwich and Greenwich piers to Masthouse Terrace, Greenland, Canary Wharf, Bankside, Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Blackfriars, Embankment and Waterloo.

Weekday boats run from before 7am until past midnight.

Oyster cards

Following our successful campaign to get fairer treatment for riverboat users, Oyster cards will now be accepted on the Thames Clipper. 

Pay-as-you-go Oyster card users will be entitled to a 10 per cent reduction on regular fares, and passengers using a Travelcard (Oyster or paper version) will receive a 33 per cent discount on single adult fares

Service between Woolwich and The O2

As a result of the campaign, the service from The O2 to Woolwich Arsenal has also been secured until 2013.

Transport for London (TfL) and the Council will continue to subsidise the Thames Clipper service between The O2 and Woolwich Arsenal, and this funding means the service between The O2 and Woolwich Arsenal will continue until 2013.
