Sailing Down The River
As a child, I enjoyed going for a boat trip on the Thames. I always wanted to go further than just a quick turn at Big Ben, but my mother said it was too expensive. Especially, if you took into accpunt, the cost of going up on the Piccadilly Line and tea in Lyons Corner House.
So this morning, I took the Underground to Putney Bridge station before walking across the river to Putney Pier, where I got a Thames Clipper to Blackfriars.
The reason I did it so early, as this is a trip that is only possible in the morning rush-hour. Even so my nine o’clock boat wasn’t very full and there were just two of us on the observation deck.
It’s certainly the best time to do the journey if the weather is fine!

[…] I do wish I could find a train from which it is possible to get a decent photograph of the conveyors and the barge, which is used to take the spoil away. Sadly, it wasn’t there when I took the Thames Clipper trip yesterday. […]
