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
- Board early at Westminster to secure front-row top-deck seats.
- Ride one full loop to understand timing and stop density.
- 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
Sunset on the river pairs perfectly with a day of HOHO.
