If you fancy feeling like a Bond villain who’s on a budget, take the Emirates Air Line cable car. It swings you high above the River Thames, offering stunning views of London’s skyline. It also offers a front-row seat to your own panic attack if you’re scared of heights.
This is not the fastest way. It’s the most dramatic way. You’ll dangle for about ten minutes, praying the wind doesn’t turn the car into a giant can of human chilli. But when you land at the North Greenwich terminal, you’ll feel like a conquering hero. Plus, you can use your Oyster card on it, which feels like a magic trick.
Playful exaggeration: I once saw a seagull fly under the cable car. The seagull was going faster. Plan accordingly.
