Great to have additional ways to cross the river but this is quite pricey (£5.90 for a single according to the uber website). Isn't one of perks of cycling and walking that each individual journey is free?
I’m proud to mark the launch of the Orbit Clipper - the UK’s first fully electric cross-river passenger ferry.
This is a great new transport option for Londoners: cleaner and greener than its predecessor, providing more accessible journeys across the river for far more people.

A festive truce has broken out over the Greenwich Foot Tunnel – with the two councils that own it finally agreeing to work together on “full tunnel refurbishment”.
Dual lift shafts could be introduced to improve reliability.

This isn't the fix we all want but is definitely a step in the right direction.
Sorry for missing this. Is in beta testing now and should, hopefully, be fully operational alongside new signage for the New Year.

Campaigners have launched a petition calling for control of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel to be transferred from Greenwich Council to Transport for London.
The tunnel was originally run by London-wide government, but control was handed to Greenwich in the 1980s.

It’s glaringly obvious on the map there’s no cross river links east of Tower Bridge. Time to fix and ensure the foot tunnels are fully accessible #FixTheLifts #EastWestDivide @sebdance.bsky.social @london.gov.uk @pedalme.bsky.social @londoncycling.bsky.social
We've grown London's network of cycleways by over 450% since 2016 - enabling millions of people to cycle safely around the capital every week.

Offered to be a cycle buddy to a colleague and neighbour who's nervous but curious about commuting by bike, with strike as perfect opportunity to break the routine and try.
Alas, the lift being out at Greenwich foot tunnel still has put her off, as we would have to carry bikes several flights.

I've spent the day travelling around TUBE STRIKE LONDON talking to commuters and strikers and have been left unsure if "commuter chaos" is what I've actually been seeing. www.londoncentric.media/p/tube-strik...
Tube strikes in a Lime bike era
Strikes are set to disrupt the Underground network until Friday, with the RMT telling London Centric further action could be on the cards. But is the impact being blunted by new forms of transport?
