All of these public transport options are operated by the official body Transport for London (TfL) and the best way to pay for a trip/ several trips is via the electronic credit-card-like payment system that’s the touch-in-and-out Oyster Card.

For detailed information on this mode of public transport on the capital, be sure to check out the TfL website or take a glance at the latest version of the TFL River Services Route Map.
