Westminster Millennium Pier

City Cruises Westminster Pier is a dock for cruise ships sailing on the River Thames. Taking advantage of the cruise offer is one of the easiest ways to see London's "heart". The marina offers views of the Parliament, Big Ben, London Eye and the neighboring Westminster Bridge. An additional attraction of the cruises are the witty narratives of the guides, which sometimes resemble stand up comedy.

City Cruises ships sail on the Thames stretch between Westminster and Greenwich. In addition to seeing many interesting and famous buildings, cruises can be a good way to move between tourist attractions - they enable, for example, easy access to the Tower of London or the historic astronomical observatory in Greenwich. Until recently, the zero meridian passed through them - now, after accurate satellite measurements, it has been moved to the park surrounding the observatory.

Westminster Pier is one of the five harbors on the Thames opened in 2000, whose construction was financed from the funds of the Millennium Commission - an organization established to coordinate projects to celebrate the beginning of the new millennium. Other famous buildings that were built at that time are located in the vicinity of the London Eye (giant ferris wheel) and the Millenium Bridge (modern pedestrian bridge over the River Thames).
