Because everything’s better by boat

Whether you're commuting to work, travelling to London or simply exploring the Thames, travelling London by high-speed catamaran is by far the most exciting way to do it. And thanks to Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, you can start your journey along the River Thames network at any one of its 24 piers.

How to make things even more compelling, we hear you ask? Well, with the launch of its two new audio guides, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers has thought of it all. Voiced by the iconic comedian and impressionist, Rory Bremner, you can sail the shores as London gets brought to life by Rory's unmistakably witty storytelling. Oh, and keep an ear out for the occasional unexpected 'celeb' cameo – it'll bring around a laugh or two, that's for sure.

Using geofence technology developed by Get Your Guide, the guides will narrate your journey across London, offering up unique insights into the landmarks and locations you'll see from the river. And with Wi-Fi available aboard all boats, the guides are launching in English but will be available in 10 languages, including Mandarin and Japanese, as well as a handful of European languages.

Bit of a history buff? Have a listen to the first guide that uncovers the rich history of the River Thames. Taking you on a journey through the Thames' remarkable past, you'll hear untold stories of industry, exploration and everyday life along the riverbanks. Travel through time as you learn about medieval life, royal pageantry and the modern transformation of London's iconic waterfront and how the River has shaped the city for centuries. 

More of a film fanatic? Choose the second guide that explores the many film and television locations that have made the Thames an oh-so-familiar on-screen backdrop to audiences worldwide. From films such as James Bond, Love Actually and Harry Potter to popular British television shows like Made in Chelsea and Doctor Who, the River is never short of a cinematic moment or two – and now you get to see it first-hand.

As part of its introductory offer to its passengers, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is offering both audio guides for just £2.50 a pop, making this one of the cheapest (and best) ways to explore London. And whether you're travelling from A to B, or hopping on and off for the day, each guide offers a detailed description of all there is to see along the way.
