THERE will be two more return trips to London from Tilbury via a Thames Clipper Uber boat this coming weekend (28 and 29 August).

The new service, which is being trialled with the possibility of making it a permanent service and earlier trips this month, sold out.

Now two additional sailings have been added for Saturday and Sunday. The services will depart from Gravesend Town Pier at 9.45am and Tilbury Pier at 10.00am, calling at North Greenwich Pier at 10.40am before terminating at London Bridge City Pier at 11am.

In the evening, the boat will leave London Bridge City Pier at 5.30pm and call at North Greenwich Pier at 5:50pm. It will call at Tilbury Pier at 6.30pm before arriving at Gravesend Town Pier at 6.45pm.

The licensed onboard café bar will again be serving refreshments for the cruise home.

Prices start from £11 per person for a single adult journey, or £19.50 for an adult return journey. Passengers can upgrade to an all day ticket to join Uber Boat by Thames Clippers' regular services for £24.95 per adult.

Children four years and under can travel free of charge as standard but a seat must still be booked for them online. Book tickets via this link.['.L]
