About

The Houses of Parliament and Big Ben's clock tower catch the last light from the water in a way the crowded bridge sightlines on land never quite manage, and the boat's route past the London Eye and Tower Bridge covers most of the postcard skyline in one loop. Commentary covers thirteen bridges and most of the buildings on both banks without ever feeling like a lecture. Book the sunset slot specifically, the same route at midday is a completely different, flatter light.
