NAVIGATE LONDON FOR THE MARATHON WITH UBER BOAT BY THAMES CLIPPERS
April 2025
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers, London's premier River Bus service, is set to play a vital role during one of the busiest weekends in the city, providing transportation for fans, runners, and volunteers to key points along the 26.2-mile TCS London Marathon route.
On 27th April, race enthusiasts looking to watch the runners along the River Thames can conveniently reach their designated viewing spots via boat. The River Bus serves as a calm, reliable alternative to crowded trains and busy streets for those planning to support the record 56,000 participants in this year’s marathon.
With regular sailings and strategic stops at piers situated along the marathon route—including Woolwich (Royal Wharf), Greenwich, Canary Wharf, Tower, Embankment, and Westminster—Uber Boat by Thames Clippers offers one of the most picturesque and stress-free means to cheer on runners at various important locations.
The Hop-On Hop-Off tickets provide passengers the flexibility to travel from pier to pier while following the race, taking in some of the city's most iconic landmarks along the way.
Additionally, Uber Boat by Thames Clippers has introduced three early morning sailings from Rotherhithe Pier to Greenwich Pier at 07:00, 07:20, and 07:40, ensuring a dependable service that gets spectators to the starting line on time.
After completing the race, runners can relax on board an Uber Boat by Thames Clippers vessel with a celebratory drink. Medal holders will receive a complimentary beer or soft drink on any service on Sunday, 21 April, recognizing their achievement. To claim their free drink, runners need to present their finisher’s medal and race number to a crew member.
For those driving to London for marathon day, the 'Park and Glide' tickets offer a cost-effective and convenient solution, including parking at The O2 or Barking Riverside and unlimited all-day river travel at a special rate.
