Hello and welcome to another edition of Look Around London.
00:04
The River Thames Cable Car, officially called the IFS Cloud Cable Car, offers a unique way
00:09
to cross the river.
00:11
Opened in 2012, this urban cable car stretches for just over a kilometre, linking the Greenwich
00:18
Peninsula near the O2 with the Royal Docks via Xcel London.
00:24
The journey takes around 10 minutes and gives panoramic views of London's skyline, from
00:29
Canary Wharf to the Shard and on clear days even as far as Wembley Stadium.
00:35
Originally built for the 2012 Olympic Games, the cable car is operated by Transport for
00:41
London and carries both commuters and tourists every day.
00:46
Each cabin glides 90 metres above the Thames, making it the highest observation point of
00:52
the river.
00:53
And again.
