Early access to Sky Garden with a pastry and hot drink, panoramic views, and a multilingual audio guide for a smooth 2-hour London morning.
“Very nice morning experience at Sky Garden. Early access gives you a better feel about Sky Garden with less visitors around and a nice small breakfast snack. Definitely recommended”
Hop-on Thames boat all day plus the IFS CloudCable Car from North Greenwich for skyline views. Great for first-time Londoners.

Take the IFS Cloud Cable Car for aerial views, plus a one-way Thames Clippers cruise to Greenwich. Great photos, easy sightseeing.
“Very interesting and enjoyable.. My granddaughter and friends loved it . Staff was polite and very helpful.”
IFS Cloud Cable Car London: soar above the Thames from Greenwich Peninsula with round-trip rides, mobile tickets, and iconic views.
“Wonderful experience … but not enough for a dedicated trip from city center. Great experience if you are already going to O2 or Naval Academy.”
Ride the Thames by Uber Boat and get a roundtrip on the IFS Cloud Cable Car for skyline views from water and sky.
“It was good but definately one of them activities you only need to do once! We got the Uber Boat from Westminster to North Greenwich which was a good hour boat ride so that was fun because you got to do some sight-seeing too! Uber boats are super cool, comfortable and you can buy refreshments on board! The cable cars were good, last about 20mins and as we hadn’t explored North Greenwich before we just hopped back on the Uber Boat! Was good overall but I’d rather have done the London Eye or Tower of London instead instead - activity a bit more central!”
Ride the IFS Cloud Cable Car round trip in London for quick views over Greenwich Peninsula, with mobile tickets and easy access.
“Amazing experience even thou I am scared of heights and didn’t really look at the view”
Ride the Uber Boat roundtrip on the Thames, then take the IFS Cloud Cable Car for big London skyline views from above.
“The directions take you to the uber boats but do not tell you the ride is almost 60 minutes. By not explaining this we missed our opportunity to take the ride”
IFS Cloud Cable Car glass floor over the Thames for 360° views of Canary Wharf, St Paul’s, and the Shard. Priority fast-track.
“I’m sorry but it’s definitely not worth £56 for the Glass floor experience. You get a whole let more going to Chessington World of Adventure for the same price. The £56 should include a goody bag, photos of your experience and a light lunch, for a family. It was good but too quick, at only 10 minutes. It should stop at the top for a while, that way you can really take in the sights and it gives you time to take photos or videos. However, the main element is the price way too expensive for what you get.”
VIP IFS Cloud London cable car with fast-track entry, a private cabin, and a glass of Champagne or soft drink. 90 m over the Thames.
“Excellent experience. Once we were spotted in the queue we were fast-tracked to an extremely friendly gentleman who made us very welcome. He provided two glasses of champagne and guided us to the cable car which we had to ourselves. The ride was spectacular and just the right length of time. We stayed in the cable car and immediately started our return journey. Once again it was fantastic. The cable car travels very high up. On retuning to the start point the same gentleman gave us a lovely send off. A very worthwhile experience all round!”
Breakfast at London’s Larch restaurant plus Sky Garden entry, timed access, and a multilingual audio guide. Panoramic views in about 2 hours.
“Larch Restaurant is NOT located in Sky Garden, actually on ground level of building across the courtyard. Sky Garden access is free and the wait is minimal. The breakfast food was unremarkable, with charges added for drink refills. Highly recommend the Sky Garden, save your money and skip the restaurant.”
