Kent day trippers can once again enjoy a new way of travelling to the capital.

Following its sell-out trips last year, London river bus provider Uber Boat by Thames Clippers is offering two further dates for a special service from Gravesend this February half-term.

It will have boats sailing from Gravesend's Town Pier on Thursday and Saturday, February 17 and 19, departing at 9.45am.

The journey to reach North Greenwich Pier takes only 40 minutes and a further 20 minutes to reach London Bridge City Pier.

Along the way, passengers will sail past many iconic sights including The Thames Barrier, The O2, The Old Royal Naval College Greenwich, Canary Wharf and under Tower Bridge.

On arrival at Greenwich Peninsula, travellers will be able to enjoy London's new creative quarter and Icon Outlet where shoppers can find their favourite brands with up to 70% off recommended retail prices.

North Greenwich Pier is located beside The O2 and Emirates Air Line.

As the boat ventures further into the capital, passengers will be only minutes away from The Shard and Borough Market.

There is an option to buy a single, return or all-day pass with adult ticket prices ranging from £11 for a single to £24.95 for all day.

All-day child tickets, for five to 15-year-olds, cost £12.80. Children aged four and under travel free but you must still book them a seat.

Freedom Pass and older person travel pass holders save 50% and passengers with a disable ID/badge should also select the Freedom Pass fare.

The all-day ticket will give you unlimited use of the rest of Thames Clippers' services, with regular departures from central London piers every 10-20 minutes.

In the evening, the boat will be departing from London Bridge at 4pm, then 4.15pm from North Greenwich arriving back at Gravesend by 5.10pm.

Uber Boat will also be offering services from Tilbury Pier on the same dates.
