The View from The Shard has partnered with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers to launch a brand new river sightseeing experience. The View from The River will run from London Bridge City Pier, which is visible from the top of The Shard and just a few minute’s walk from the iconic building.
The 50-minute sightseeing experience takes visitors on a circular route along the Thames to enjoy many of London’s riverside attractions like St Paul’s Cathedral, Houses of Parliament, The London Eye and under Tower Bridge. The tours depart twice a day from Wednesday to Sunday at 2pm and 3.15pm.
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers vessels have comfortable seating inside and on the back deck, and a onboard cafe offers a range of refreshments from champagne to hot drinks. A London expert will provide quirky facts and entertaining live commentary to make sure passengers do not miss any of the famous landmarks they sail past.
Luke Reilly, The View From the Shard said, “We are really excited to be adding The View from The River to our product range. Inspired by the breathtaking views from the top of The Shard, many of our visitors are keen to see and learn more about London and, taking advantage of our perfect position on the banks of the Thames, we felt a sightseeing trip along the river with a London expert is the perfect way for them to broaden their knowledge and experience of the city.”
Alison Murphy, Uber Boats by Thames Clippers said, “We have been part of the fabric of London for over 20 years, going up and down the Thames every day. We are delighted to be able to share this experience with more Londoners and visitors, so they can experience just how beautiful this city is when viewed from the river. It’s great to be working with our partners at The View from The Shard on this unique new product.”
The View from The River is available to book from www.theviewfromtheshard.com at £12 per person.
