Transport for London

River services

An arial photograph of the Thames London River Services (LRS) provides safe and reliable river transportation for both commuter and leisure journeys. Many business destinations and tourist attractions are easily and quickly accessible from the piers located along the Thames.

The introduction of real time departure information displayed on piers and this website enables you to plan your journeys in advance.

Commuter services

Commuters can benefit from frequent and fast services operating all day from Masthouse Terrace Pier in the east to Savoy Pier on the Embankment. Peak hours extensions run to Woolwich Arsenal with a further peak service from Blackfriars Pier in the City to Putney Pier in the west.

From March 2007 all vessels operating from Woolwich Arsenal Pier to Savoy Pier will be equipped with WiFi Hotspots, enabling high speed internet access.

Leisure travellers

Many companies offer entertainment and sightseeing cruises throughout the year with special events planned for important dates.
