Big Ben and HOHO

Quick Plan

Time Stop Why
09:30 Westminster Big Ben & Abbey photos
11:00 Buckingham Royal vibes, gardens
12:30 Trafalgar Lunch + National Gallery
14:00 St Paul's Dome views nearby
15:30 Tower Bridge River walk & skyline

Route Strategy

  1. Board early at Westminster to secure front-row top-deck seats.
  2. Ride one full loop to understand timing and stop density.
  3. Hop at 3–4 major stops max; depth beats quantity.

Photo Checklist

  • Big Ben from Westminster Bridge
  • Horse Guards Parade views
  • Tower Bridge from Butler’s Wharf
  • Skyline from Waterloo Bridge

Pro move: Shoot RAW if your phone supports it — overcast skies become dramatic.

Optional Sunset Finish

Thames Cruise Sunset on the river pairs perfectly with a day of HOHO.
