Yes, you read that right. Free.
No ticket. No contactless. Just you, your car, and the murky Thames.
It’s the last free vehicle ferry in London. A relic of a nicer, less-expensive time.
But here’s the kicker: it’s also the slowest crossing possible.
The river is only 600 meters wide. The boat takes five minutes.
You could swim faster. But you wouldn’t get the thrill of the ramp.
The Ramp of Doom
The boarding ramp is a comedy of errors.
It clanks. It groans. It looks like it might just snap off into the water.
Drivers get a special look in their eyes. Pure, unadulterated fear.
If you’re on a bicycle, you get a front-row seat to this drama.
You watch cars creep onto the barge. They inch forward like they’re crossing a tightrope.
Pro tip: ring your bell. It makes the drivers jump. It’s hilarious.
