Pros

  • Uber boat is a good option, we got it all the way from Putney to Greenwich which is the whole route and as someone who lived in London for 12 years it was a great way to see things from another angle.
  • Use the Uber Boat for a cheap tour of the Thames.
  • I did the Uber boat and enjoyed it. Cheap and cheerful!
  • the trip to Greenwich is well worth it. Take the Uber boat.
  • An uber boat to Greenwich. A few afternoon teas. St Paul’s golden gallery national Portrait gallery and a stroll

Cons

  • If you enjoy river cruises, do not use the Uber Boat as a sightseeing boat. The only real reason to use it is cost, so if saving money matters, then it is a good choice. But it does not have commentary, it only has two small outdoor spac...
  • The Uber boats don’t speed by so quickly that the shore passes in a blur. But the space and ambience might not be what you’re after.
  • I actually disagree with the other poster and think that the Uber boat is more or less *only* useful if you’re interested in a novel way of seeing the city. You do have to sit at the back, but there are normally seats free, and you get a...

Uber Boat is great — think of the Thames Clipper almost like a bus service on the river rather than a sightseeing cruise. You can actually use it to get around and see London from the Thames at the same time.

I personally love the Uber boat and think Greenwich is super cute with lots to see in terms of museums.

It’s called the Uber boat and they run half hourly. Regular boat rather than tourist commentary but very comfortable, small coffee and snack kiosk onboard etc. Even if you were too tired to stand up you get to see a lot.
