(3) THE SHERLOCK HOLMES TOUR

A return visit to the Sherlock Holmes Museum, accompanied by a padawan who is the ultimate Sherlock fan…ending at a pub named after the great detective.

(4) THE SOUTH BANK OF THE THAMES

My favourite walk in all of London, especially in twilight. From Westminster Bridge, passed the London Eye and the Millenium Bridge…taking in the Shakespeare Globe Theatre, Southward Cathedral & Hay’s Wharf along the way…

(5) TOWER BRIDGE

The conclusion of our South Bank walk offered us a rare night time raising of the bridge, and some well-lit panoramas of one of London’s most famous landmarks…

Back to the hotel after a long day…riding the tube, with many padawans along for the ride.
