Thames Cruise

One of the nicest ways to see London is by taking a cruise along the Thames. The city exists because of the river and many of its most historical sites are near the Thames.

We cruised the Thames at low tide as you can see from the picture. We went from Tower Pier to Greenwich Pier. Later in the day, we cruised from Greenwich Pier to Westminister Pier.

The pub in this picture is the Prospect of Whitby. It claims to be the oldest riverside pub in London dating back to 1520. It is also believed that Charles Dickens often came here. We never had time to go back and visit it.
