Most EXCITING Way from City Airport to Central London - Speed Boat & Cable Car

Never heard of Uber Boats before. They do look FAST! 😮

I always thought that O2 arena was sort of an eyesore. It's so out of place. It's something you'd see in Las Vegas, not London.

Amazing! I made the same trip and return from London Towers to Greenwich but it was by ferrie, definitely much slower than these! Must be fun 😂❤

Been on that DLR. Good thing about it is no drivers to go on strike. 
There has been a lot of cash spent on that area with new flats going up. Whilst down there, look around Battersea Power Station . The place is always buzzing especially at weekends.

Docklands light railway for me because it’s level boarding so the disabled would get on as it’s level boarding same with the boat 🛥️ also from what I saw. So I’m really impressed there. 👍

That was insane Roger.... I definitely want to do that especially speed boat an cable car.... hey you dropped a good one again mate.... enjoy your holiday my friend 😊 Richard in Newcastle upon Tyne

Uber Boat was my favourite, but the Cable Car looked great as well. Need to check both of them out myself, next time in London. Nice one! 😊 👍

We did the cable car the other direction - that is steep going up...

Went on similar boats on the East River in NYC - it's a great way to get about, plus see from a different vantage point. Ideal that it is part of the travel network

Hi Roger, so how does paying for travel work. How does swiping your credit card know how much to charge

I’ve been to 3 WWE wrestling shows at the O2 arena 😊

What a novel way to reach Central London from LCY, Roger ! In fact a few years after LCY opened the airport did offer a river boat service from, I think, Westminster pier to an informal docking location along the main road between LCY and Canning Town station. (I travelled on it as part of a press trip) At the docking point pax disembarked, walked the short distance to a waiting coach which them departed a mile or less to LCY. Unfortunately it didn't survive too long because of the excessive journey time along the river (conventional river boats at that time) compared to taking a taxi (no DLR or Jubilee Line back then) You have to remember that, in those days, LCY was a true business airport with limited flights on which all seats were sold at a business class price.

Another great video Rog. Given me lots of ideas for my next trip down to the smoke!

Does DLR mean Driver Less Railway?

I loved this. I visit London often and have never done the cable car or the Uber boat. I'm now tempted to take a day out soon to try both! The boat looks like it will be my favourite. Thanks for another great video.

Love your video's Rog. 👌👏

The Uber boats are a great concept. The downside is that it's nonlonger a means to get about for commuters. Bloody tourists clog it up with sightseeing 😢

Great Video I'm Going To London in 3 Week's Need to try the boat

I always use to go with my Mum when the tennis was on at the O2. Some of the tennis players use to arrive at the O2 by boat.

Yes: but if you’re an over 60 Londoner, getting into town from City Airport is FREE

The "Good Hotel" which is next to the cable car I have stayed in and done a review on, if you stay there you can also get a discount on travel on the Cable Car, which was ideal for when I saw the Hollywood Vampires at the o2 Arena London in July 2023. We also did a video covering this when it was sponsored by Emirates and had the little shop & Emirates experience back in 2022 before the contract ended. A very great Vlog Roger, very enjoyable!

Just when I thought I'd focus more on Scotland and Wales on my next visit to Britain, Daddy Rog shows me a couple of interesting toys in London. POOOKE!!!

What a lovely route :)

Rog! Thank you EVER so much for doing this vid, I absolutely adore your hotel stay videos as you probably know, particularly the BTH series, but this is arguably your best ever production, I am intrigued, beyond excited, amazed by this revelatory piece. I'm someone, much travelled yes, but someone who actually enjoys the 'rigours' of 'doing the Underground', the repetitive nature of it, familiarity of it too but still a novelty as I'm not a Londoner and rarely visit. But despite all of that saw LCY as the traditional way into town, the way of avoiding the crowds. More recently the DLR became the alternative little-known route of choice, but now you have just opened up a whole new dimension and adventure to me, like I said thank you so much. I share your boyish enthusiasm for sure! I have been in the process the last few weeks of finalising in my head as it happens a trip to the capital for the New Year and just seeking a tweak to the plans to make the trip over and above the norm, something different, unique to before and here you have just provided the missing piece of the jigsaw. The cable car ride sold me, and then you went and threw in the speedboat for good measure, oh my word man, you've no idea how much this has sparked my imagination. I was actually one of the first passengers back in the 1980's to ever use London City Airport and i forever after regretted not using the riverboat transfer up the Thames that existed at that time that took you right to the airport terminal door more or less. I took a London black cab instead assuming if anyone would know where the newly functioning Silverwood Airport was a London cabbie would. How wrong could I be! Long story short I arrived at the airport that time 20 minutes after my flight was due to depart, several wrong turns later... So I've always had ideas and plans to use the River Thames as a modus operandi but wasn't aware that this was one option in 2024, so yes thank you so much again. I associate London with steamy sticky hot tube trains, packed full of people, no seats available, strap hanging all the way - we've all done it but youve opened up a whole new world here. You seemed to have availed of a period of time when very few people were travelling, particularly on the speedboat with 8 passengers and getting a gondola to yourself, I'm not sure I will be that fortunate but you have definitely given me a whole new perspective into the pleasure of going through London to my final destination and i will be following your lead on that, have no doubt! 🙂 I'm even prepared to overlook the fact you've done a Tears for Fears gig 😂 haha, im joking of course! (Very good era and music choice as well man). Thanks so much Rog, Ive watched this vid 4 times over now on repeat play and still it feels a bit mesmeric. Now I've seen it all. 🙂👌👍😮

the cable car honestly looks so much fun :D

Good news - the cable car has spectacular views! Bad news.....of the Millennium Dome!
