IFS Cloud Cable Car launches the Glass Floor Experience

Dare to look down as you float 90 metres above the Thames, experiencing London like never before. For thrill-seekers and view lovers alike, this is your chance to experience a weightless adventure with exhilarating 360° views. Whether you ride solo or with fellow adventurers, prepare for an unforgettable journey through the clouds.

From Friday 20 June, customers travelling on London’s Cable Car will have the option to book a cabin with a glass floor, offering views of the capital from 90 metres above the Thames.

With 360-degree views of the city, the Royal Docks, the Gherkin and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, The Shard, Canary Wharf and the 02 Arena among London’s landmarks that can be seen from the Cable Car.

The IFS Cloud Cable Car opened in 2012 and today this unique transport option is a leading visitor attraction in London and the UK with 1.5m customers per year. The Cable Car’s route between Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks gets people across the river in less than 15 mins, providing access to the O2, Excel and a wealth of restaurants, hotels and entertainment on each side of the river.

Josh Crompton, TfL's Head of the IFS Cloud Cable Car, said: “The Cable Car has been one of London’s leading attractions for more than a decade and is a much-loved landmark in the city’s skyline. We’re excited to offer this new experience to customers, extending the incredible views from the cabin even further thanks to the panoramic glass floor.”

Tens of millions of journeys have been made on the IFS Cloud Cable Car since it opened, supporting major regeneration in both the Royal Docks and Greenwich Peninsula. It links with the Elizabeth line station at Custom House, just a short walk away for services towards Paddington or Abbey Wood, and with DLR services from Royal Victoria or Custom House for ExCeL London.
