The view
Enclosed glass gondolas carry you high across the Thames between the Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks, swinging gently as the city opens out below. From the top of the arc you look down on The O2 dome, the towers of Canary Wharf, the river bends and London City Airport.
The ride is brief but genuinely scenic, and far quieter than London's big-ticket viewpoints — one of the few places where you hang suspended directly over the working river.
How to get there
Two termini: IFS Cloud Greenwich Peninsula (nearest North Greenwich, Jubilee line, near The O2) and IFS Cloud Royal Docks (nearest Royal Victoria, DLR, beside the terminal). Board from either end.
Height of the viewpoint
Enclosed gondolas rise to about 90 m above the River Thames at the top of the arc — the highest cable-car ride over a river in the UK. The ~1 km crossing takes 5–10 minutes.
