Down by the River Side

Ex tube trams converted into a cafe somewhere near Liverpool Street
where we hired our bikes from


A perfect morning, the Thames sparkling, HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge in the background

Graham on London Bridge

Compulsory coffee stop at Monmouth, Borough Markets

The first of many bridges as we head west along the South Bank

View east to St Pauls


The girl power bridge - built entirely by women during WWII



London Eye
Big Ben

Westminster glowing in the sun

Looking back east from somewhere near Chelsea

Battersea - ex power station now being (very slowly) remodeled into a mixed use scheme with apartments and retail. It will take years of works and huge investment just to ensure the building is structurally safe for re-use, but the setting is awesome.

Lunch down by the river in Richmond in a wee german Biergarten, loving the Kartoffelsalat (potatoe salad), Currywurst and Sauerkraut. One of the great things about London is that you can get anything...provided you know where it is. Thanks Jess for telling me about this one!!

A human musical mobile - trapeze artists and musicians suspended from a crane - one of the spectacles at the London Mayor's Thames River festival, also taking place that day
