In the morning, we went to the Tower Bridge. On the way, we saw one of the remaining bits of London's Roman wall and the outside of the Tower of London. The exhibit in Tower Bridge was great. It included a description of the crowding that necessitated building the bridge and some of the competing designs, as well as a history of bridge building in the world.
After the bridge, we walked along the South Bank and stumbled on a street festival. M especially liked seeing the acrobats. After lunch at Giraffe, we took a ride on the London Eye. We had ridden the Eye in 2008, but M didn't remember it. The view of Westminster and the Houses of Parliament from the Eye is beautiful. M found a copy of "The London Eye Mystery" by Siobhan Dowd at the hotel and was glad to have it to read while we waited in line for our ride on the Eye. M recommends the book, "it was very good."
For dinner, we went to our favorite Prince Edward Pub in Bayswater.
