Most boats are equipped with comfortable entries for wheelchairs and toilets for disabled people, but this question must be specified in advance.

The shortest trips to go from 20 to 30 minutes, while more than a longer excursion will take about three hours there and back (from Westminster to Greenwich and back).

Creative fountains Jeppe Haine (Jeppe Hein Appearing Rooms)
The works of the Danish artist Yeppe Haine often combine sculpture with architecture and modern technologies. If you were in Belgium, I probably saw his project "Unusual benches" - benches of the most strange type and form, on which you just do not sit. So, in London there is another work, very popular among families. This miracle is in South Bank and represents, in general, fountains-crackers. That is, the walls of water appear, they disappear, and, if you are lucky, you can run throughout the fountain, not even grunting. But, of course, everyone will die on the ears!
Address: Southbank Center, Belvedere Road, South Bank
Schedule: in the summer months (July-September), from 9 am to 6 pm.
