What visitors say
Wonderful river cruise from Westminster Pier to Richmond UK to visit sites used in the filming of Ted Lasso. "Be curious, not judgemental" The boat ride is about 2 1/2 hours. The boat has refreshments for sale as well as bathrooms on board. The boat captain gave a great commentary along the way. Informative and funny 😂 A great way to get there.

Excellent boat trip lasting nearly 4 hours from Westminster Pier to Hampton Court. Interesting commentary too. Bar onboard also. Highly recommend the trip.

We booked a return trip from Westminster to Greenwich 2 hrs roughly but we got off and spent sometime in Greenwich which you are allowed to do, the staff are all qualified Thames Watermen and off excellent cometary as you travel (please tip them they are excellent) the whole experience was fantastic and at £60 for two adults and a teenager was excellent. They also had a very reasonably priced bar and there are toilets onboard.

The sun was out, the tide was heading the right way and the cruise to Richmond was a fabulous way to enjoy a lot of London we’d never seen before, in a relaxed no easy way. Commentary was eclectic, but informative and fun, and the boat was very comfortable. With the great weather we sat outside on the open front deck, which gave great views, but there was indoor seating as well.
