Thames Clippers - The Riverline ... running right through the centre of London. Today Londoners and visitors to London alike are rediscovering the benefits of river travel on Thames Clippers' Riverline services.

Shamefully, they weren't providing veggie alternatives to the hot bacon and sausage sandwiches and I didn't see a member of staff behind the bar to serve anyone so presumably you'd have to hunt one down if you wanted any food.
