River Thames Cruise. This was a 2 hours  cruise upstream to Greenwich, passed many historical sites and many bridges including the iconic Tower Bridge. 

Many prominent landmarks on River Thames. The facades of buildings faces River Thames, thus making it a better view from the river. 

Many high-rise office towers 

Many historical landmarks and monuments are located along the river banks.

The unused old Wharfs warehouses are now converted to prime luxurious apartments.
