The London Ferry engine

An algorithm that knows the river.

London Ferry doesn't just repeat the timetable. Our own algorithm watches the river and the roads around it, learns how every crossing and every boat really behaves, and tells you what's actually going to happen.

Know where your boat is

Every Uber Boat moving on the river, and the one you'll catch from your pier, so you leave at the right moment instead of waiting on the pier.

Delays before they're official

When a boat is running late, London Ferry spots it and updates your times, even when the published times haven't caught up.

Crossing times you can plan around

Close, honest estimates of how long the Woolwich Ferry will take from each bank, queue and all, with the likely range. It learns how each crossing really behaves through the day.

The full engine runs in the app. Estimates are a guide.

Uber Boat in the app

The parts a website can't do, built around the piers you actually use.
