As an exchange student, I found that I had not been exploring around the city lately, so I decided to go sightseeing on the River Thames. It starts at 10am from Westminster.
The guide was super funny, and personally I think he is the best tourist guide that I have ever met. The way he introduces the places around the river is informative but in a way that is not overwhelming. He also put a lot of sarcasm into the introduction and I am not sure if it is accurate to say that but I can feel the British Humour here and I love it. As we were passing through the Hungerford Bridge and Golden Jubilee Bridges, the guide said that there is a custom in London that whenever we go through the bridges underneath while someone is at the top, we wave our hands towards them. If they wave back, they are from somewhere else. And if they don’t, they are from London.
The trip lasts around 2 hours for a round trip from Westminster to Greenwich and go back. It was quite cold honestly but I think today’s weather is considered good in the context of London. At least it didn’t rain big during the tour, so that is good. Here are some photos I have taken during the tour.
