The London cable car,[3] also known as the Dangleway and officially as the IFS Cloud Cable Car for sponsorship reasons,[4][5] is a cable car link across the River Thames in London, England. The line was built by Doppelmayr and the total cost was around £60 million. The service opened on 28 June 2012 and is operated by Transport for London (TfL). Since 20 October 2022, it has been sponsored by the technology firm IFS;[6] prior to this, from its opening the line was sponsored by the airline Emirates, and known as the Emirates Air Line[7][8][9][10] until 28 June 2022.[11]
The service comprises a 0.62-mile (1.00 km) gondola line that crosses the Thames from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Victoria Dock, to the west of ExCeL London.[12] In addition to transport across the river, the service advertises "a unique view of London".[13] Starting 28 June 2024, FirstGroup will take over the operations of the cable car line.[14]
