Thames River Cruise Dinner (similar experience as the Seine’s cruise) in Paris. I can’t remember the pier number or name. We didn’t took the one in London because it was sold out. If I am not mistaken I saw an Uber River Boat as well. Google the name and I am sure you will have lots of options. Try the name : Pier Elizabeth

Hi there I watched a video that showed what look like a tube station on the Tower Bridge? What is the name of the station that lets you out what looks like a 1/4 of the way up the bridge on the city side. It is right across from the hotel for a better reference if that makes sense. Thank you!
