The boat passes several well-known landmarks in order, starting with the Houses of Parliament and the Elizabeth Tower, home to Big Ben. Next, it moves past the London Eye, a large observation wheel with a 30-minute rotation, followed by the Royal Festival Hall, a concert venue with riverside restaurants and bars. The route continues by the Tate Modern art gallery, housed in a former power station, then St. Paul's Cathedral, designed by Sir Christopher Wren after the Great Fire of London. The cruise also passes Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, a replica offering tours and summer plays. Further along, the boat goes by Borough Market, one of London's oldest food markets, then Southwark Cathedral, which dates back to 1220 and is known for its resident cathedral cat. The WWII warship HMS Belfast is next, followed by the historic Tower of London, where visitors can learn about its thousand-year history and see the Crown Jewels. Finally, the cruise reaches Tower Bridge, an example of Victorian engineering, where passengers can view the Thames through glass floors in the walkway. Toilets are available on board.
