- James T1 contributionFantastic customer serviceMy five year old daughter and I had a wonderful experience on the IFS Cloud cable car today. There was a very long queue for people with ordinary tickets so we queued for VIP tickets instead. At the counter we met Marc who upon finding out that I am disabled and my daughter is so young, offered us a 50% discount which completely took me by surprise but was very welcome as I am unable to work. Marc even accompanied us to the pod landing/departure area from the ticket office which was really helpful and welcome. The lady at the departure area, Alexandra, was extremely friendly and welcoming and complementary of my daughter. After a wonderful experience onboard, we just want to say that we are so grateful to Marc in particular and we would love to fly again!```````````````````Thank you for sharing a review of your visit! It's great to read that you had a wonderful experience and that Marc and Alexandra were so helpful. I will share your feedback with the team.

- Anna6 contributionsOverjoyed with experienceWe traveled to the cable car on bank holiday Monday just after the new year as it was my sons 9th birthday and it was something he had wanted to do for some time. As we arrived we were blown away with the queue line and almost decided to leave. My son has autism and any parent that has an autistic child will know that crowds can often make them feel overwhelmed. I told my husband to join the boarding queue with my son and daughter whilst i went to buy the tickets. After purchasing tickets i went to ask a lady called Renata which was at the front, some additional information about the expected queue time and mentioned that my son had autism and it was his birthday. She was very informative and said we wouldn’t have to queue so i went to call my family and she took us upstairs. I cannot put into words how down to earth and caring she was. She introduced herself to my son, wished him a happy birthday and even reassured him when he started getting unsettled. Sometimes it can be overwhelming when your autistic child doesn’t know how to act and looks ‘uncontrollable’ to other people. Renata handled the situation correctly and even made a pinky promise with him.. i have never seen no staff member interact with him in such way! It sent tears to my eyes. The views were incredible and staff really do look after ‘disabled’ guests. 100% recommend.Thank you for taking time to post a review. I'm glad you enjoyed the visit and that the team were so helpful. See you again soon.

- Lizzie1958berry8 contributionsGreat viewsGreat views of the city from our pod. Recommend visiting early in day as very quiet and had pod to ourselves. You save money by booking ticket online. Only downside was no nearby tube to get to location however bus station and water taxi nearby.Hi, thanks for sending your comments and pleased to hear that you enjoyed your flight. There is a London Underground station near to the IFA cable car - North Greenwich - with Jubilee line services operating between Stratford and Stanmore.Written 5 February 2023This response is the subjective opinion of the management representative and not of Tripadvisor LLC.Visited February 2023Travelled with familyWritten 5 February 2023

I am very grateful to Yasmin as she settled my fears since it was my first time, I couldn't thank her enough. Due to the fact that she made my experience amazing I will be coming back here with family and friends. The ride last for about 6 min give or take, the views are amazing at night, it really makes the city look pretty.

- Kevin BSeaton Delaval, United Kingdom13 contributionsExcellent value with stunning views in an autism-friendly environmentIt was just after sunset that the lit up high rise buildings came more and more into view as the gondola rose slowly and majestically into the night sky in almost total silence.... The cable car was easy to get to as it was a few minutes walk from the North Greenwich tube station and even closer to the Uber boat dock. Signposting from the station to the cable car base could have been more frequent on the route. A small problem easily overcome as the cable cars were easily visible leaving and arriving. We were greeted by Jackie who's sincere warmth put my autistic 14 year old daughter at ease as she talked us through the procedures. I hadn't told anyone she is autistic, they just did that as standard. Fortunately, as it was a school night in London 20th February 2023, the queues were short. The staff we encountered were all similarly warm and professional.Thank you for the positive feedback. I'm pleased that you enjoyed your visit and happy to hear that Jackie was so helpful. Also appreciate you highlighting the signage could be improved from station and along the route to the base.

- Jack B2 contributionsCable car visit 28/03/2023Absolutely amazing, was worried about the heights and rocking of the car, but was very gentle with amazing views. Staff were absolutely amazing in the shop helping us find our sizes, very polite and chatty to all guests who stop by. The museum was interactive and learnt about the mechanics and workings. Can't beat the hot chocolate in the cafe. Will visit again very soon in summer.Thank you so much for the feedback. It's lovely to hear details of your trip and that you had a great time.

- Muhammad L1 contributionBest experience in town for special occasionsI had my Son birthday on 04.04.23 I planned to take my family out for iCloud Cable Car. So I trace online contact details to enquire if the staff and team can do something to add value to the plan. I spoke to Danielle over the phone and received good news from their team while in a busy Easter week. That the team will facilitate me. On arrival, we visited the Cable Car shop first to build more excitement for the plan. The shop staff was very welcoming and hospitable, including Security. Especially the Supervisor in-house of the shop. She put extra value to our day by taking our family pictures in the shop. The Manager Rizvan has done his best to accommodate us in all cases. I'm blessed to be assisted and escorted by Mr. Rizvan, Thank you very much, Sir. All the Welcoming Cable Car staff and Shop staff made our trip and my Son 1st birthday memorable with great videos and pictures. I'm grateful to choose your venue it was full-on worth it. Thank you very much to all the hospitable staff team for giving a great customer experience.Thank you so much for the feedback. It's lovely to hear details of your trip and that you and your son had a great experience on this special day! We're delighted to hear about our staff giving a great customer experience, we will pass your feedback to Danielle, Rizvan, Supervisor, Security, Welcoming and Shop staff.

- Parksfamily2014Guildford, United Kingdom116 contributionsBrilliant views, fun experienceDespite disastrous journey on Uber boat ( get there a different way if at all possible- we waited over an hour for the boat! ) the cable car experience was faultless and fun. Toilet area is still being developed, but cute shop/ cafe and photo opportunities before boarding. Currently allowing each group their own “ cabin” which I worried would cause ( another!) long wait - but we hopped straight on. Clean, pretty cabins , brilliant views, friendly staff and smooth running. Well worth the £ and journey even though the round trip is short. Amazing bird’s eye view of 02, City Hall, Canary Wharf towers. Relaxing and fun trip.Hi, thank you for sharing your experience. We are happy to hear that you had a great time with us.

This is a inexpensive way to get a great view of the Loddon Docklands skyline.
Cable car rides are always a intresting way to travel and this is no diffrent, Easy way to cross the river and see the view. Well worth doing as a visitor if your in the Docklands or Greenwich areas.

Great views of London, no queues although we did arrive at 10.30am. Pleasant round trip. One of our party was unable to make the trip and Razvan arranged for a refund straight away - excellent customer service.
Highly recommend. Close to the 02 arena as well.

We visited the Cable Car in Greenwich a few months ago, and decided to go again because it was extraordinary. We were served by the wonderful and memorable Marc, who we previously encountered, and he remembered us. A very friendly man. The views of the Cable Car are astonishing. It takes you 295ft in the air! If you are in London, visit North Greenwich Tube Station and visit the sky.

8.6 Animals You can bring an assistance dog with you without charge. You can also take with you without charge any other dog or inoffensive animal but they must be carried at all times. Some animals may not be permitted with good reason (such as if the animal seems dangerous).

Hi there,
I was going to get a standard round-trip ticket for IFS Cable car. I just wanted to ask if we can hop on & off? Like if we get on from Greenwich & get off at Royal Docks, roam around & then get back to Greenwich again. Is that possible?
Also, do we need to get printed copies of booked tickets with us or mobile tickets are fine?
Thanks in advance xx

I only went one way and used my Oyster card. People were showing printed tickets and tickets on their mobiles to get on. I presume you can use your tickets anytime but best to ask as I did not return on the cable car.

I'm looking to book tickets for the cable car online to visit the excel. I'm happy to book fast track but I want to make sure booking a VIP round trip means we can get on at the 02, get off at the excel to view an exhibition then make the return trip back later in the day?
I don't want to do the full trip in one go.

The cars come every 20 seconds or so, I don’t think you’d need a VIP/Fast Track, especially not at double the price? We used the cars on a hot & sunny Friday in August/school holidays and even then we never had to queue. Also, just book a standard round trip ticket. We did the same trip as you…went one way at around 3pm and then the return journey at 10.30pm. You don’t have to do it all in one go.

It had the same payment system as the rest of the London Underground so you shouldnt have a problem with using it.
