Just like in a Bond movie - or David Beckham’s stylish arrival at the 2012 Olympics - thrill seekers can now take a speedboat ride on open water through central London. Thames Rockets is a new 35mph service for the public - the first to operate on the river’s 10-mile high-speed zone between Tower Bridge and the Thames Barrier. Londoners and tourists alike can enjoy an exhilarating trip set to a soundtrack worthy of any action movie.
