Forget the Tube or New Routemaster, Londoners have dreams of much more fantastic modes of transport.

Some of the capital’s residents were quizzed on which spectacular ways of getting around they are most jealous of and wish they could use to beat the traffic or crowds on their daily commute.

The survey was commissioned by MBNA Thames Clippers ahead of two new boats being launched next month.

These are the top five 'if only ...' modes off transport Londoners are most envious of:

  1. Harry Potter and his broomstick
  2. Barack Obama and Air Force One
  3. James Bond and a speedboat
  4. Prince William and his helicopter
  5. The Queen and her golden carriage
