yes

How far is the closest pier (where these stop) to Paddington?

embankment

ok cheers. you recommend using it?

beats swimming

and sitting on a tube surely.

depends. it's good for visitors/sightseeing and pretty reasonably priced.

Fantastic boats. The first time I went on one it was the last journey of the night from Greenwich to the Tower.

He really gave it some welly, felt like a speedboat.

going to the o2 tomorrow afternoon/evening from paddington. not in any real rush so might give it a go, provided it's not too much hassle.

fair play, sounds good.

Second time was early evening and was rather staid in comparison because of the river traffic.

i'd say it depends on where you want to go. to get from paddington to embankment you probably want to take the tube (although if you have time to spare it's a nice walk through hyde park, past buckingham palace and westminster). if you're on the tube you may as well stay on it

cheers DStyle, would like to try it, even it adds time on to the journey.
