This direct service generally takes about 7 minutes (sometimes as fast as 3–4 minutes, though schedules may vary) and runs roughly on an hourly basis. For example, Rome2rio lists several departure times throughout the day, by which you can reach Southwark in around 7 minutes on most trips.

Do keep in mind that departure times and durations might differ on weekends or holidays, so it’s a good idea to check the latest schedule online or through the Thames Clippers website.
