Arrive 15 minutes early
Piers operate on tight schedules; arriving early secures better seating and avoids last‑minute boarding lines.
Choose the upper deck for photos
For unobstructed views and better light, pick the open‑air deck—bring a windproof layer for stability.
Use the heated salon in cold months
If temperatures are low or wind is biting, the enclosed salon keeps you comfortable and warm.

The Thames is tidal; choppier water and stronger winds are more likely at high flow—dress accordingly.
