Blackfriars Pier

Bought "Ride and glide" family ticket.

Easy way into the city by catching the Uber boat to Blackfriars pier.

Boats don’t bother stopping here

The waiting area is covered from rain and boarding the boat is wheelchair accessible. The tickets are easily bought at a vending machine by the pier, rather expensive, but very convenient. The ride was smooth and significantly faster than making the same trip by other means.

Great views over the river Thames, but it's only open during the peak hours.

Appalling service since Uber took over. Myself and a woman with a very young and tired baby waited for the 1611 boat only to discover, via an Eastbound boat member of staff, that it had been cancelled. We then waited for the next one, to be told by an Uber pier member of staff (who hadn't been around earlier) that this boat had been cancelled too. There was absolutely no notification on the boards about these cancellations and when we asked about refunds, we were told "You'll be lucky!" Am really unimpressed. We don't blame the solitary member of staff, we blame the company. Get your act together.

It was a relatively calm pier and the boat ride was calm and not really problematic. I wish I didn’t have to get off so soon.

It's beautiful, there are many tourists, and they have been waiting for a long time.
