Tour Outline:
Londoner’s often say the Southbank is the most picturesque part of the whole city!
Whether it is strolling along the Southbank, sipping Pimms on a sunny summer day. Or, wrapping up head to toe and taking a winter wander through the Christmas Markets. The Southbank is consistently considered one of the city’s most beautiful gems.
Offering you spectacular views the entire length of the river, this tour is awe-inspiring for London locals, frequent visitors and first-time tourists!
We are now offering a brand new way of discovering this stunning part of the capital. Our E-Scooters allow us to travel the entire length of the Southbank, from Tower Bridge to the London Eye, with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment.
This tour will be a quick scoot along the river, visiting all the major landmarks on the riverfront. Offering you fun stories from a local guide, and a wonderful chance to use an E-Scooter on a safe and spectacular route!
This tour begins near London Bridge Underground Station and, like all of our E-Scooter tours, will start with a safety tutorial. Once everyone has got to grips with their new mode of transports, we will cross over to see Tower Bridge and City Hall.
This tour features a gentle scoot along the river. It is perfect for any E-Scooter beginner. Like all of our tours, it makes use of cycle lanes and cycle superhighways. This tour makes exclusive use of a popular cycle route that crosses the entire city.
From Tower Bridge, we will head west along the River. Passing such sites as The Shard, London Bridge, Borough Market and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. This tour gives you the perfect opportunity to learn more about Southwark – the London borough that includes a quirky combination of history and modern invention.
In the latter half of the tour, we will weave our way around the river and slowly make our way to The London Eye. This part of the tour will offer you breathtaking views of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, one of the most iconic images in all of London.
At the end of the tour, you are free to continue using your E-Scooter. Perhaps you want to continue down the river or cross over to Parliament Square. Or, you might want to catch a ride on the London Eye or grab dinner at a delightful riverside restaurant. The possibilities are endless.
