Overview
A river boat leaves Westminster Pier, heads east past Parliament and the London Eye, passes the Tower of London and goes under Tower Bridge. It continues through Docklands to Greenwich Pier; the passage takes 40–60 minutes each way. Free time in Greenwich covers the Cutty Sark and the UNESCO-listed Old Royal Naval College, and the return is by boat.
