Trip Over to London

Voyage Up The Thames – Westminster to Hampton Court

Need a day out of the city? The most relaxing, entertaining way to get from central London to Hampton Court Palace is on a Thames Riverboat from Westminster Pier. Catch the tube to Westminster Station, walk towards the river and look to the left, you’ll see the ticket booths and the pier there.

Check online for sailing times by clicking here. As the River Thames is tidal, the boat only goes all the way up to Hampton Court if the tide is high enough up river.

The trip takes about 3 hours and you will be entertained the whole way with the commentary from a local Londoner who points out all the places of interest, as well as telling stories about all the things you see along the way. There is a fully licensed bar on board – sipping on a G&T watching the world go by has got to be one of the pleasures of life!

When the boat sets off there is so much to see, I found myself in a bit of a spin taking photos on both sides of the river, and listening to the commentary. It all starts off with safety briefing, (even that was entertaining!), as the boat goes under Westminster Bridge, then make sure you have your camera ready as the sites come thick and fast. It all calms down the further out of the city you go.

The Palace of Westminster, or Houses of Parliament, on the north side of the Thames and over on the south side is St Thomas’s Hospital. Then after passing under Lambeth Bridge Tamesis Dock was sitting high and dry waiting for the tide to come in. Tamesis Dock is a pub on a converted 1930s Dutch Barge moored on the Thames River.

Before you get the Chelsea Bridge, you pass under the Grosvenor Bridge, also known as the Victoria Railway Bridge, the River Guide was quite excited about the long train that was crossing it at the time.




The Peace Pagoda sits on the edge of the river at Battersea Park, a gift from, Guruji, the founder of the Japanese Buddhist movement in 1984. He stated that ‘Civilisation is not to kill human beings, not to destroy things, nor make war; civilisation is to hold mutual affection and to respect one another’. Following the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, he pledged to build pagodas worldwide as shrines to peace. The Battersea pagoda was constructed by nuns, monks and other followers of the sect and was completed in 1985 just weeks after Guruji died at the grand old age of 100.

The next Bridge to come into view is the Albert Suspension Bridge, originally built in 1873, but was found to be structurally unsound, so this was corrected the following decade. Then 100 years later it was painted a lighter colour to make it more conspicuous in poor visibility, and avoid being damaged by various vessels on the river.

Just before Battersea Bridge is Crosby Moran Hall. The Great Hall was built in 1466 and was moved here from the original site in Bishopsgate in 1910, now a private residence. This is the only example of a medieval city merchant house surviving in London.

After passing all the house boats that surround the northern end of Battersea Bridge, you start heading into ugly, modern, super expensive residential territory. Even London Heliport is here on the south side of the river. The apartments here are prohibitively expensive, they would need some good double glazing to keep out the noise of helicopters landing and taking off.

After Putney Bridge, the almost country side scenery starts to develop. Before going under Hammersmith Bridge, the old Harrod’s Furniture Depository building is on the left, once considered to be so far out of the city it was a good place for a warehouse, now I believe, converted to luxury apartments.

Eventually, after winding our way further up river, past Kew Gardens, we had to go into Richmond Lock, so we could be raised up to the higher river level for the last part of our voyage.

We slowly enter the lock under Richmond Footbridge, the gates close behind us, then the water starts flooding in from the other end to raise out boat up, now this is a mechanical process with the flicking of a few switches, but once all done by hand. They must have been very strong men to fight with the weight of the water.

Then we pass by beautiful Richmond-on-Thames, past lovely riverside homes, under Kingston Bridge and into Teddington Lock, where we do it all again to get us up to the right river level to make the final bend on our trip!

Finally Hampton Court Palace comes into view…….

After visiting the Palace you can then return to London on the River Boat, or catch the train back to Waterloo from Hampton Court Station, just across the river on Hampton Court Bridge.

While in London you might like to visit the beautiful Kew Gardens, or be part of London’s amazing history at the Tower of London.

Walking along the old tow path beside Regent’s Canal from Camden Town to Little Venice near Paddington is a lovely way to see the quiet side of London. Or take a longer walk through history ending up in a 800 year old pub.

At the right time of year, usually in May, the Chelsea Flower Show is a must see, even for a non-gardener like me!

Have a read of some of the shorter “PostCards” I have written while in London for more stories and pictures of this incredible city.

Vernazza is the 4th of the Cinque Terre villages as you head north, you can get here by train, boat or on the hiking trail, it is pretty close to Monterosso, so if you felt a short walk should be on your to-do list, this is probably the one. This is a very pretty village, but there was a lot of pre-season work going on, I was going to have lunch in one of the restaurants overlooking the the sea, but the sound of angle grinders cutting padlocks off all the railings drove me out!!!.#vernazza #vernazzaitaly #vernazzacinqueterre #cinqueterrenationalpark #cinqueterrecoast #cinqueterreitaly #cinqueterre #solotravel #italytrip #madeinitaly #traveladdict #travelinitaly #solotrip #solotravelinitaly #neverstopexploring #seeeverythingdoeverything #traveltheworldworldwithme #travelbytraininitaly #travelbytrain #seetheworldthroughmyeyes
What is the most efficient way to get from Venice Marco Polo Airport into Venice? Alilaguna Water Bus,@alilaguna_official operate from the airport to several stops around Venice and along the Grand Canal, making it very easy for solo travellers to get yourself and your luggage to your hotel with a minimum of fuss. I stayed the lovely @rialtohotelvenice just near the Rialto Vaporetto stop, so very convenient.Click to link to my website in the bio to read bout my arrival in this watery wonder world.#venice #alilaguna #venicewaterbus #airporttransport #solotravel #solotravelinitaly #solotrip #neverstopexploring #madeinitaly #tripovertoitaly #traveltheworldwithme #italianarchitecture #italianadventure #italytravel #earlyspringinitaly #solotravel #venicelights #veniceitaly #venicewalks #venicelife #venicecanals #venicetrip

All the wildlife came out to see the end of 2024, before their habitat gets taken over by human wildlife all looking for a fireworks watching spot for the big show at midnight on Sydney Harbour. Further around Cremorne Point the "No Alcohol" signs were all being put up, Porta loos were being put in place, home owners were putting up signs to ask people not to climb on the fences and garden walls - the price you pay to live in this beautiful area, one night of hell to start off every new year!!#cremornepoint #cremornepointwalk #seeeverythingdoeverything #sydneywildlife #sydneynorthshore #sydneystyle #sydneylife #sydneyaustralia #sydneylocal #sydneycoastalwalks #lizards #kookaburras #sydneybythesea #sydneyharbour #sydneyferries #boatsontheharbour
All the decorations are nearly down as Sydney marches into 2025, walking through @theqvb on my way to work is a beautiful way to start the day, especially as it's been soooooo hot and humidity, or raining lately, a bit of air-con helps!!!..#sydneyafterchristmas #qvbsydney #queenvictoriabuilding #queenvictoriabuildingsydney #shoppinginsydney #dailycommute #walktowork #streetsofsydney #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #sydneystyle #sydneylife #sydneystreets #sydneycbd

Porto Venere, just a short bus trip from La Spezia, was just what I was hoping for, and not crowded!!! This lovely town has retained it's charm, and not sold out to tourism. I'd take Porto Venere over any of the villages in Cinque Terre, and I had the most delicious seafood pasta there. The old medieval church out on the headland was incredible and climbing further up to the castle, the views were amazing💖#portovenereitaly #portovenere #oldcitywalls #italianarchitecture #italianadventure #italianhistory #italytrip #madeinitaly #traveladdict #travelinitaly #solotrip #solotravelingisfun #seekandyoushallfind #seeeverythingdoeverything #experiencelifethroughtravel #traveltheworldworldwithme #outonthewater #daytripfromlaspezia #medievalitaly #oldbuildingsmakemehappy #historicbuildingsenrichourlives #spaghettiseafood

In Florence I stayed @hotelatlanticpalaceflorence , just a short walk from the railway station, and an equally short walk to Duomo Firenze, Ufizzi Gallery and Ponte Vecchio. The roof top bar at the sister hotel, Hotel Machiavelli, 50 mtrs down the street has amazing views over Florence. In the hotel foyer is an amazing vase made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Italian Constitution in 1898. The city of unbelievable art and design starts right here in the hotel 🤩. The hotel is very comfortable, safe and serves a lovely breakfast to fuel you up for a day of exploring.For more info about the hotels I stayed in on my Solo Italian Aventure, click the link to my website in the bio.#hotelatlanticpalace #hotelatlanticpalaceflorence #hotelatlanticpalacefirenze #florence #duomofirenze #viewfromtheterrace #solotravel #italytrip #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #neverstopexploring #traveltheworldwithme #traveladdict #solotrip #solotravelinitaly #italianadventure #madeinitaly #italianhistory #italytravel #historicbuildingsenrichourlives #solofemaletravel #solofemalemidlifetraveller

Manarola is the 2nd village in Cinque Terre as you head north, beautiful clear blue water along the rocky coastline. The hills rise steeply up into the grape growing terraces 🥂.Very easy to get to by train, or ferry, or for the more energetic, along the hiking trails! I wanted to walk some of the trails, but decided against it as my knee sometimes has problems and I had already really put it to the test on this holiday climbing thousands of medieval steps, I didn't fancy get stuck alone out on one of the trails. I didn't see many/any other hikers in early spring, although it would have been ideal weather for it.#cinqueterreitaly #cinqueterrenationalpark #cinqueterre #solotravel #solotrip #solotravelinitaly #neverstopexploring #wineterraces #seetheworldthroughmyeyes #italianadventure #manarola #manarola5terre #manarolacinqueterre #manarolaitaly #cinqueterrecoast #seeeverythingdoeverything #madeinitaly #traveltheworldwithme #traveladdict #italyinearlyspring
A sculpture of a tree on the beach front in San Terenzo, in the Gulf of Poets, near La Spezia in Italy.

All the classics of Florence, the Duomo, the bell tower, the view over the autumn coloured roof tops, Ponte Vecchio, Il Porcelllino, the Uffizi Gallery and sculptures in Loggia dei Lanzi.

After arriving at Venice's Marco Polo Airport, I caught the Alilaguna Water Transport directly to Rialto, then when I left Venice by train to Florence, I caught the Vaporetto from Rialto to Ferrovia, the ferry stop at the station, then straight on to the train, suitcase in the gap between the seats, and off we went, so efficient. Very easy, even for an old chic like me on a solo Italian adventure!!🥂For more info on the art of train travel in Italy, click the link to my website in the bio..#venice #grandcanal #solotravel #traintravelinitaly #italiantrains #alilaguna #alilagunaferrytoairport #vaporetto #ferrovia #venicerail #venicetrainstation #solotravelinitaly #neverstopexploring #seeeverythingdoeverything #traveltheworldworldwithme #outonthewater #seekandyoushallfind #seetheworldthroughmyeyes

A great hotel in Venice for Solo Travellers with luggage, @rialtohotelvenice is easy to get to from the railway station or the airport with the vaporetto stop right outside on the Grand Canal. The staff are all lovely and so helpful. The location is perfect, at Rialto Bridge, you will always be able to find your way back, just keep following signs to Rialto!! I had the best time there looking out over the Grand Canal, either from my room or up on the terrace, it would be so easy to spend all your time just watching all the goings ever changing happenings on the Canal.I have written a story on my website about all the hotels I stayed in on my recent solo Italian adventure, all easy to access from transport, safe, friendly and comfortable.

My Solo Italian Aventure took me out to La Spezia, my base for exploring Cinque Terre, Porto Venere and Lerici. Staying @hotelfirenzelaspezia was ideal, just 50 mtrs from the railway station, and a short walk through La Spezia to the harbour, all methods of transport to easily get around are all nearby.
