London: Speedboat Experience by Thames Rockets

Additional Information & Description

Thames Rockets brings a burst of speed to sightseeing in London. This speedboat ride takes you along the Thames, with the wind in your face and the city’s riverside landmarks in view. The appeal is the combination: high-speed boating and a look at London from the water rather than from its streets.

London landmarks from the river

The river route brings Tower Bridge and the London Eye into view, while the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben are among the sights you pass along the way. You also travel beneath Tower Bridge, adding a different perspective to one of the landmarks on the ride: you see it from below as the boat passes underneath, rather than only looking towards it from a distance. These are sights seen from the boat: the Thames itself is your route through the city, and the waterfront buildings provide the backdrop as you move along it.

A life jacket included

A life jacket is included with the speedboat experience, providing the wearable safety equipment for your time on the water. The activity centres on the boat ride itself, combining the thrill of travelling at speed with sightseeing from the Thames.

Digital tickets for the ride

Tickets are delivered instantly, and smartphone tickets are accepted for this Thames Rockets experience. These are two separate practical details: delivery concerns when you receive the ticket, while smartphone acceptance concerns how you present it. You can present your ticket on your phone rather than carrying a printed copy.
