Visitor Information

The Thames River Boats take you from the heart of town - departing from Westminster Pier, next to Big Ben - from where you can wend your way out of the hustle and bustle to London's pretty outskirts to the West. This route was well-travelled by Royal Barge and, 500 years on, you can follow in Henry VIII's wake to his favourite palace, Hampton Court. The trip up-river, through the locks at Richmond and Teddington, takes a leisurely three and a half hours (tide dependent) but it's worth stopping off at Kew Gardens or at Richmond for a riverside pint or some pub grub.
