Every dog has his day (out)
Walk Your Dog! month with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is leading the way this Walk Your Dog! month by ferrying you and your furry friends to London’s p-awesome riverside parks.
Take London’s leading River Bus service to dispel the January blues and enjoy the peace of nature whilst exploring the capital’s parks with your best friend. Uber Boat by Thames Clippers offers a comfortable way to travel through London, with easy ramp access and all pups welcome on board!
Uber Boat by Thames Clippers vessels have a cosy indoor cabin, most with licensed café bar, while outdoor back decks provide panoramic views of London. Regular River Bus services operate across 24 piers in the capital, all the way from Putney in the west to Barking Riverside in the east, with several key central London piers. Here are just a few of the amazing parks you’ll be able to visit…
Battersea Park
Disembark at Battersea Power Station Pier to visit the pooch paradise that is Battersea Park. With 200-acres of open green space, floral gardens and a boating lake, there is plenty of space for your dog to frolic, and enough smells to please your pup for dog years. Not only is the park incredibly dog-friendly, but so is the Pear Tree Café, making it the perfect place to pop for a spot of lunch.
Greenwich Park
Take a short stroll from Greenwich Pier to the gorgeous Greenwich Park, offering some of the city’s most spectacular vistas of Canary Wharf and the City. One of London’s largest Royal Parks, Greenwich Park offers a wide range of facilities and is another dog-friendly paradise! Want your Frenchie to collar a canine companion? Well, if you have a French Bulldog, there is meetup by the Observatory at 10am on the last Sunday of every month. You’ll be sure to have a ball!
Surrey Docks Farm
Just on from the Isle of Dogs is Greenland (Surrey Quays) Pier. Alight here to find Surrey Docks Farm, a city farm with donkeys, pigs ponies, and many more lovely animals – all welcome to you and your well-behaved woofer! To go off-leash, mosey on over to the hidden gems of the Russia Dock Woodland and Stave Hill Ecological Park, or meander along the Thames Path, or the Surrey and Greenland Dock to enjoy the fresh air.
With a Family River Roamer, kids up to 15 go free! Travel unlimited throughout the day with this hop-on, hop-off ticket. An All Zones Family River Roamer costs just £37.80 online and is valid for 2 adults and up to 3 children. A Family River Roamer ticket can be purchased online, on the Thames Clippers Tickets and Uber apps and at piers.
