Emirates Air Line crosses the River Thames between Greenwich Peninsula and the Royal Docks, just five minutes from the O2 by North Greenwich Tube station. Cabins arrive every 30 seconds and flights are approximately 10 minutes each way.
The view was absolutely fantastic, the cable cars were very clean and not crowded. Not that expensive and a short queue for tickets.
Took the air line across to get to a concert. The staff were very helpful and eventually we understood how to use the ticket set up. The convenience is excuse enough to use the line, but the view and experience were excellent on their own.
Good for tourists, arrive at Royal Victoria DLS and you can do a return trip without getting off. Only abut 300m from the station to buying tickets.Relatively quiet on an April Saturday, suitable for adults and children and good for pictures.
Cheap and a nice view of London. If its cloudy/foggy you're unlucky as you wont be able to see too much.
We took a round trip from the O2-arena and back. Fantastic view. Good audio guidance. Do take the time to visit the Emirates activity center. Quite interesting, especially if you are interested in technology.
My husband and our 10 and 12 year old visited. Really enjoyed ourselves, was great to cross the Thames this way.

Can I buy tickets on the spot?
Hi how far is it to walk to the emirates cable car from the Hilton Doubletree Excel hotel?
we are staying at the Sunborn Hotel in Royal Docks and have a disabled car park space there. It would be a bit far for my husband to walk to the Emirates Air Line - is there a car park there?
There is a car park, 4a nearby though it was very busy when we were there a year ago. You can see it in Goigle street view. It cost £6 for 2 hours. You could contact TfL on the sky line website, they may be able to give you a definitive answer for space allocation.
