Updated

Choose the ticket after sketching your route. Two useful boat journeys can be better than an unlimited pass you barely use.

Single tickets suit a one-way sightseeing day

A single journey makes sense if you will walk, use the Underground or end near your hotel afterwards. Check time and zone restrictions for the specific ticket; do not assume it is valid on every service.

Return tickets suit one main destination

A return can fit a Greenwich day when you plan to go out and back without extra river stops. Confirm whether the return is tied to a route, day or other conditions.

Passes suit genuine stop-by-stop plans

A pass deserves consideration when you intend to make several journeys. Compare exactly where and when it is valid. A one-day pass, two-day pass and a stated 24-hour product should not be treated as identical.

Calculate the day, not the headline discount

Add up the actual journeys for your party and compare final totals at booking. Include child eligibility, attraction admission and any add-ons. This guide does not assume a pass always saves money.
