5.00It was an stunning view of London eye on the boat. It feels like cinematic vibe that you can only see on a movie, can’t believe that I experienced it. Definitely would do this again and recommend to my family and friends.

5.00We had an absolutely awesome experience. A mother & daughter day out. All the staff were superbly welcoming and professional. We were even delayed and still had 1st class service!! The main stars , who shone like diamonds fornus were Cheryl & Key One!! They both spoilt us rotten!! The A1 , Supersonic service was their usual way of caring for their guests!! I am so impressed that I will be booking again very soon!! Thank you so so much Cheryl & Key One for helping us create priceless memories!!! XxX.

5.00Had a great experience with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers 🚤 It’s honestly one of the best ways to see London from a different perspective. The ride was smooth, clean, and well-organised, and the views along the Thames were amazing. It’s also a really convenient way to get around the city while enjoying iconic landmarks at the same time. Everything felt easy and comfortable. Definitely recommend if you want something a bit different from the usual transport — would 100% do it again ✨
Awesome place for tea etc

5.00This was such a cool venue! Eli was our server and he was so sweet. They had a nice selection of tea. The scenic view was amazing, that’s worth it alone. However if you get sea sick, beware. It does have a slight bob to it. Otherwise, it’s great.
The staff was attentive...
