About

Take part in a 45-minute round-trip on a vessel with a fully-licensed bar. Relax whilst on-board the traditional passenger boat - the Cockney Sparrow, and marvel at the beautiful scenery of the Richmond Riverfront.

Start your leisurely cruise at the Richmond land stage. Hop aboard your vessel and set-off on a 45-minute journey of serenity.

Make the most of the Cockney Sparrow's comfortable seating saloon on the spacious outside decks. There is also a fully-licensed bar accepting cash and card, with toilet facilities conveniently placed on-board. Purchase and enjoy a range of cold beer, cider, wine, spirits, soft drinks, hot drinks, and snacks.

Travel upriver and take in excellent views of the Richmond riverfront and Richmond Hill before cruising round Glovers Ait to view Marble Hill House (an 18th-century Palladian Villa).

Continue upriver as you pass Ham House and Eel Pie Island (once home to the famous Eel Pie Island Hotel) before reaching Teddington. Once at Teddington Lock (the upper limit of the tidal Thames) the boat will turn and cruise back downriver to Richmond.
