Cruise from Westminster Pier to Kew Pier to visit the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew, the London Museum of Water & Steam & Kew Green.
A cruise from Westminster Pier to Kew Pier takes approximately 1-hour, 30-minutes & passes through the City of Westminster & a number of London Boroughs including Chelsea, Wandsworth & Putney before arriving in the upper reaches. The next stage of the journey cruises through Hammersmith, Barnes & Chiswick, following the winding path of the river round islands & stately homes before arriving at Kew Pier. Kew Pier is situated on the South side of Kew Bridge, close to Kew Green with its collection of charming pubs & restaurants. It is only a short walk from the pier to the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, Kew Palace, the London Museum of Water & Steam (across Kew Bridge) & the National Archives.
During the cruise we will pass beneath a number of London’s iconic bridges & pass numerous landmarks including Westminster Bridge, the Palace of Westminster (Houses of Parliament), Lambeth Palace, Battersea Power Station, Chelsea Bridge & Albert Bridge.
The cruise takes place on a traditional river Thames passenger boat with indoor & outdoor seating, a fully licensed bar & toilet facilities. A river trip to Kew makes an excellent day out for tourists & locals alike & allows a few hours ashore at Kew to explore before travelling back to Westminster by train or by boat.
