Canary Wharf – Rotherhithe Ferry
Canary Wharf – Rotherhithe Ferry is on the River Thames (tidal section) near to Oxford.
Early plans of what would become the River Thames (tidal section) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1876 but problems with Canterbury Locks caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1888. According to Barry Hunter's "Spooky Things on the Canals" booklet, Leicester Embankment is haunted by the ghost of Arthur Yates, a lock-keeper, who drowned in the canal one winter night.

Wikipedia has a page about Canary Wharf – Rotherhithe Ferry
The Canary Wharf – Rotherhithe Ferry is a passenger ferry across the River Thames in the south east of London, England. The service connects Canary Wharf Pier, serving the major Canary Wharf office development north of the river, with Nelson Dock Pier at the Hilton Hotel in Rotherhithe.
Boats operate roughly every 10 minutes at peak time, or every 20 minutes off-peak time. There are service breaks between 11.03 - 12.05 and 20.13 – 21.05.
Boats can be used both by guests of the hotel as well as by passengers not staying at the hotel.
The service is operated by Thames Clippers, who also operate commuter boats along the river, but uses rather smaller boats.
In March 2020 the service was suspended due to the Covid-related closure of the Doubletree by Hilton hotel in Rotherhithe. The service re-opened in September 2020.
