Emirates Air Line Cable Car London

11/7/2012

This is a slide gallery of the new Emirates Air Line Thames Cable Car that began operating on June 27.  It crosses the Thames from Royal Docks to the Greenwich Peninsula right beside the O2.  Take the Docklands Light Rail to Royal Victoria and the departure station is about two minutes away.  Prices are £4.30 for adults and £2.20 for children.  Discounted tickets with Travelcards of Oyster Cards are £3.20 am d£1.60.

The cable car runs for about 1.1km across the river on three mighty towers, amost 100m at the peak.  It is a brilliant piece of engineering, the views are fantastic and great value.  I highly recommend this newest landmark in London.  As you will see from the video it was a wet and cloudy day in London (July 10).  I can only imagine how spectacular it would be on a fine, clear day. The sightline must cover miles of the city.  Deails from this website of how to get there and times.
