Before booking a London sightseeing cruise, carefully check departure points. Some tours leave from Westminster Pier, while others depart from Tower Bridge or Greenwich. Be sure to pick one that's convenient for your itinerary or where you’re staying. Also decide whether you want basic sightseeing or a cruise that includes extra experiences, such as dinner or afternoon tea. You can also choose from options that combine cruises with entry into attractions like the London Eye. Finally, always book ahead during peak season to secure your spot.

Dress in layers since it can get chilly on the Thames, especially on open upper decks—bring a light jacket even in summer. Arrive at least 15 minutes early to secure the best seats (upper deck for unobstructed views, lower deck in bad weather).
