See the city from the river (for the price of a bus fare)

Everyone photographs the London Eye, but here's the better-value tip: the Thames Clipper river bus is part of the public transport network, so you can sail past the Tower, Tower Bridge, the Globe and the South Bank for close to the price of a normal fare, no pricey sightseeing ticket needed. If you do want the full narrated cruise or a sunset trip, those exist too. We'll help you choose between the budget river-bus hack and the proper cruise.
