The Fast Ferry - at last!

"Upstream, downstream, north bank to south bank, people will be able to use the the Thames as a practical way of getting about London" said John Prescott when launching the ferry service from Bankside Pier.

From this month the fast ferry service runs between Embankment and London Bridge City with a weekday extension to Canary Wharf calling at Nelson Dock. The three SE1 piers involved are Festival, Bankside and London Bridge City. By the beginning of next year the service will also be docking at the British Airways London Eye at Jubilee Gardens, Blackfriars (north bank) and Tower of London. At present Bankside is not served during the morning rush hour. The first weekend ferry is 9.55am upstream. For the timetable visit the White Horse Fast Ferries Web site
