London Cable Car isn't always expensive - here's how to ride for under 2

"The London Cable Car, often derided for the high cost of using it, does have a rather cheap way of crossing the Thames by dangleway if you want. Ordinarily, a single ticket costs £7, and a return costs £13 (soon to rise to £13.50). However, if you don't mind buying a pack of 10 tickets in one go, then they will cost you just £19 for ten trips across the river. So, instead of paying £7, you can pay just £1.90 per trip."

"So long as you make at least three trips a year (or two return trips), it's much cheaper than paying per individual visit. The Multi-journey ticket can only be bought from London Cable Car ticket offices at the terminals, and the allocation of ten rides can't be used by more than one person, so no, you can't pay for ten rides and share them with a companion. Damn!"

The London Cable Car charges £7 for a single trip and £13 for a return, rising to £13.50 soon. A multi-journey pack of ten tickets costs £19, lowering the per-trip price to £1.90. The multi-journey ticket must be bought at London Cable Car ticket offices at the terminals and the ten rides are non-transferable between people. Purchasing a pack is financially advantageous if a rider makes three or more single trips a year (or two return trips). The multi-journey ticket price will rise to £20 in March, but packs are valid for one year. The cable car closes for annual maintenance from Tuesday 3rd March to Thursday 12th March.
