Look, the Woolwich Ferry is free. That’s its superpower. A free ride across the Thames is a gift in expensive London. But it comes with strings attached: patience, luck, and a strong stomach for uncertainty.
If you’re in a hurry, skip it. Take the Jubilee line or the DLR. But if you have time and a sense of adventure, why not try? You might get lucky. You might also text your boss that you’ll be late. Again.
So, is the Woolwich Ferry running today? Honestly? Your guess is as good as mine. Check the website, check your phone, and say a little prayer to the river gods. Or just show up and hope. That’s the Woolwich Way.
And if you see a grumpy bloke writing this article on the dock, waving a coffee cup? That’s me. I’m waiting too. Let’s be miserable together, watching the seagulls. Good luck, sailor.
