Evening Cruise on Thames

After touring London all day we decided to take a relaxing cruise along the Thames.

The pick up spot for the River Cruise was at the pier at the base of the Tower of London. On the way to the Tower Pier we could see the magnificent Tower Bridge.

After boarding a covered cruise boat at the Tower Pier, we set off on 45 minute circular cruise of the Thames.

Passing the HMS Belfast, we headed up river.

Th e HMS Belfast has been used as a floating naval museum since 1971. Displays on board protray life on board a cruiser during WWII. There are also exhibits relating to the history of the Royal naval.

The white building is Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. It is a reconstruction of the original built on a site just east of its original site.

Picksford's Wharf is one of the many wharfs that line the river. Beside it a sailing ship is moored
