City airport to London Eye by boat

[ScotHill]

This is a holiday for us but I'm guessing some of you live there - where's the nearest boat to London City airport, taking us up the river to Big Ben and the London Eye? I've seen a few departing from near Greenwich but are there any closer to the airport that board on the north side of the river?

DLR to Woolwich Arsenal I suspect.

Edit: actually, King George V, then a 10min walk.

What you need is the Thames Clipper.

Royal Wharf is probably the closest.

Note the Woolwich Arsenal is a weekday only service I believe. TFL website below.

Royal Wharf is the nearest boat stop, and on the north bank too unlike Woolwich. If you have lots of luggage you might want to get an Uber car to the Uber boat;)

It's not the cheapest option but is a great way to arrive London, you should def give it a whirl.
