Thames Boat Trip # 1 : Tate to Tate Boat
This boat service runs every 40 minutes and the concept behind this “Thames Boat Trip London” is to connect two Tate galleries in London. The boat travels between “Tate Modern ” and the “Tate Britain “. The journey will take you through the heart of the London city and of course, there will be plenty of things to see on the both banks of Thames River. If you want to get the best views, you should be at the outdoor deck because this is the place where you will be able to enjoy the thrill of this voyage. One interesting thing that must be mentioned here about these boats is that, the design of these boats has been prepared by “famous artist Damien Hirst “. The only thing missing on these boats is the commentary so if you want to know anything about a place, you should have a map with you.
Smartphones have made it easy for people to carry maps but if you want a map. you can easily find it at any bookstall on the way. If you want to go from one Tate to another than this boat service is definitely the best option for you. You can pick your favorite gallery, visit it in the first place and then sit on the boat to go to the other Tate gallery. The same boat will bring you back to the place from where you started your journey. In both galleries, there are small lawns on the outside where you can sit to have some fresh air.
