The IFS Cloud Cable Car (formerly the Emirates Air Line) is an aerial cable car that operates between North Greenwich and Royal Victoria Dock (near the ExCeL convention and exhibition centre).
It is an unusual transport option considering that there simply aren’t many people that need to commute between North Greenwich and Royal Docks and it is an unusual spot for a tourist ride as the views over the Docklands aren’t quite as spectacular as views over central London. However, it is a relatively affordable scenic ride and there usually aren’t any queues.
Riding the IFS Cloud Cable Car
You can ride the IFS Cloud Cable Car from either the Greenwich Peninsula terminus in North Greenwich (near North Greenwich tube station on the Jubilee line) or the Royal Docks terminus near Royal Victoria Docks DLR station and the ExCeL convention and exhibition centre.
The ride takes 10 minutes and offers views of North Greenwich and the Docklands with cabins departing every 30 seconds.
The one-way cash fare is £6. Unfortunately, the fare is not included in the Oyster card daily cap.
The cable car cabins are fully wheelchair accessible.
Service may be cancelled if weather conditions forecast lightning or high winds.
