London City Airport to CBD

Is there a water taxi service on the Thames that can pick up from London City Airport. On my last visits I've travelled on the Docklands Light Rail, or by taxi/bus, but for a change would love to do the Thames.

Had a look at the river taxi guide but theres no info.

Not that I am aware of.

London is rather poorly served by Father Thames in this respect, in comparison to Sydney or NYC.

I don't know about LCY, but there is (or a least was) a regular Westminster to Greenwich river service.

Edited to add:-

AFAICT, you can catch a boat from the south bank at Woolwich and the Thames Barrier, (and could cross using the Woolwich Ferry or the DLR), but no pick-up points on the north bank!

You'd have to leg it between the Woolwich Arsenal DLR station and the Woolwich Millennium pier:-

Looks like there's no river ferry service from Woolwich Arsenal Millennium pier between 09.20 and 17.48 Mondays - Fridays (and currently no DLR service to Woolwich Arsenal DLR station between 10.00 and 17.00 or after 18.30 Mondays - Fridays) . . .
Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays every 40 minutes river ferry service and every 10 minutes DLR service.
Don't know how up-to-date the timetable is (or whether this is just Winter):- http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/downloa...oolwich(1).pdf
