A few snapshots from our day, which started at Waterloo station, carried on down the South Bank with a stop at the Watch this Space by the National Theatre, where the kids sat in a large astroturf armchair and then watched a little play about bees while the grownups had a coffee in the sun, then on down to the Tate Modern
where we had a brief trip inside and watched the Peregrine falcons hanging out on the tower.
We then crossed the river on the Millennium footbridge, which is no longer wobbly, and walked back down to Trafalgar Square along Fleet Street, looking at all the cool buildings, from St Paul's on down.
The former National Express building is a favourite...
Eventually, we wended our way south of the river again in time to queue for our "flight" time for the London Eye. We then finished up the day with some playing on the playground near the Eye, and dinner at Pizza Express (no photo!) - a really lovely day. It's sometimes nice to play tourist in your own city. I always forget just how much I like London; this trip was particularly fun for me as I worked on the South Bank for years, so it's like my old stomping ground. Only it's nicer now than it used to be!
