How Long Does Woolwich Ferry Take?

Taking the Journey Across

Is there a charge for Woolwich Ferry?

The Woolwich ferry is a free service, operated by Transport for London, between Woolwich and North Woolwich, linking the north and south circular roads across the River Thames. The two boats used in the service carry pedestrians, cyclists, cars, vans and lorries.

Is there a queue for the Woolwich Ferry?

Yes there are queues but it's a unique way to get across the Thames. Expect the queues but there's a little tea / coffee hut where you can grab a quick snack while you wait and then wait to board and get whisked briefly across the river to further your journey.
