  • Easy add-on to a Greenwich day out
  • Pre-booked ticket for a smoother arrival

Full description

London’s cable car links the Greenwich Peninsula on the south bank with the Royal Docks on the north, climbing well above the river on the way. From the cabin you look out over the O2, Canary Wharf, the Thames Barrier and, on clear days, far across the city.

It’s a short, memorable ride that pairs well with a day in Greenwich or a visit to the O2. With your ticket booked in advance, you simply head to either terminal, board a cabin and enjoy the view.
