Take a boat ride on the Thames

“Our tour guide, Ed, is excellent, keeping everyone entertained as we sailed past some of London’s most famous landmarks including Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament, the Shard, the Tower of London, HMS Belfast, Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre and the Tate Modern. [...] And then, just as we’re getting comfortable, everything changes. We sail under Tower Bridge, out towards the towering skyline of Canary Wharf, past the police boat mooring at St. John’s Wharf and into the high speed zone where Charlene lets rip pushing the Rocket Rebel to reach its top speed. At the same time, the theme tune to Baywatch comes across the boat speakers and we speed, bump and make sweeping turns along the river listening to a medley of high energy classic rock songs and, of course, the James Bond theme tune.”

“I grabbed a spot at the front of the boat, where I could mount my Drivelapse camera (which normally records my road trips from the dashboard of a car). Then, I sat back and enjoyed the short cruise. The first sight to see was one of London’s most recognizable landmarks, the Tower Bridge. The boat departs from a dock on the west side of the bridge, then promptly makes a u-turn, so unfortunately, I didn’t get the chance to sail underneath the 115+ year-old drawbridge.”
