    About a million years ago I used to ride the H2O&M into work.

    A very nice way to get to work.

    I get the clipper every day. Tell your friends, get everyone on it, then we'll get more than one boat every 20 mins. Other than the infrequency, its the best commute I've ever had

    Didn't see any on the boat but there are Metro/City AM stacked up in boxes and people stuffing them in your face all around the general area

    However, in days of old when the Thames was the main form of transport it was also the main sewer and stank like hell.
