It's a very good choice. Most of the ship has glass windows. I was lucky enough to see the bridge rising. There were singers on board, a wonderful night.

There are many types of cruises on the Thames River and at the boarding area, so I was a bit confused about which cruise it was, but fortunately the ticketing staff explained it well, so there was no problem. It was a bit disappointing that it was not an open-roofed cruise, but it was nice that I could get off and get back on in the middle.

Just swipe it and it's ready to use~ When I went to the site, I found that I could use a credit card to pay for the ferry ticket, and the price wasn't too expensive. It's very convenient to swipe a credit card in London now.

It is very convenient. You can get on the boat by showing the QR code when you arrive at the pier. The environment on the boat is comfortable, the buses are very frequent, and most attractions are accessible.
