The Woolwich Ferry has severe delays today, with travellers waiting up to one hour if leaving from the northbound side.

Although the service is operating as usual, a surge in traffic from the south side has caused significant delays.

The ferry, which is free to use, carries pedestrians, cyclists, cars, vans, and lorries across the Thames.

Due to the long waits, passengers are being urged by TfL to allow extra time for their journey.

While the service is typically unaffected by tidal conditions, extreme weather or exceptionally high tides can occasionally cause disruptions.

No such issues are impacting today's operations.

Travelers are encouraged to check the latest timetable and keep an eye on live updates to stay informed of any further delays or planned closures.
