The RB2 River Bus provides service on Saturdays and Sundays across all seasons, connecting key locations such as Battersea, Vauxhall, Millbank, Westminster, and Embankment.
This means you can enjoy the river route every weekend of the year.
Booking is possible, but not essential.
Booking a ticket for the River Bus RB2 service is possible and recommended to save money, though not strictly required for standard travel. You can purchase tickets in advance online or via the Uber Boat by Thames Clippers app. Alternatively, you can pay as you go using a contactless card or Oyster card, or buy paper tickets at the pier on the day of travel. While a specific seat cannot typically be reserved for regular services, purchasing a ticket ensures your ability to travel.
