London's returning to normal, which is great. But why not do your commute a little differently, and commute in by boat.
A staggering 1.6 million Londoners living west of Vauxhall (St George Wharf) Pier, and east of Canary Wharf Pier are within a 15-minute bike ride of an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers pier.
In fact almost one in every five (18% of) Londoners living outside of central London have easy access to London's river bus service. From here, it's a zippy commute to the office — with plenty of perks you won't find with other transport options.
In fact, let us count the ways that commuting by boat is the way to go:
- A guaranteed seat (now that doesn't happen often!)
- Storage for up to 14 bikes (so you can cycle to and from the boat, and cut out other transport costs)
- Stunning views of the capital (nice to remind yourself you live in one of the world's great cities)
- Fresh air and the wind in your hair (what a way to start the day!)
- On chillier days, stay nice and toasty on the plush seats indoors (it's climate controlled, don't you know)
- Free wi-fi (make a head-start on replying to those emails)
- On board barista service for your first coffee of the day (get your caffeine fix, while drinking in the views)
All sounds rather enticing, right? And the benefits don't stop there.
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers commuter services start as early as 5.30am — and call at major London transport hubs every 10-20 mins — so you won't miss that important boardroom meeting first thing.
Back in the office full-time? Season tickets cost as little as £1.61* per journey. Working more from home these days? Not a problem. Flexible, ad hoc travel starts from £3.86** per journey.
And Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is growing, too. Its 24th pier (Barking Riverside) will soon be open as the service expands eastward, while two hybrid high-speed passenger boats are planned for autumn 2022 and spring 2023.
So what are you waiting for? It's time to change the way you commute, and set sail for the office! Find out more about Uber Boat by Thames Clippers today.
