I think we did that in the wrong order, but it was a neat experience riding on the world’s fourth largest ferris wheel and “the world’s tallest cantilevered observation wheel.”
Their gift shop was underwhelming.
We took the hop-on hop-off bus tour. That’s a nice way to see a big city, or at least get an idea of what is where. We did this the last time we were in London, a clear summer day, and got great shots. Today they are a bit grey, but maybe that fits better:

Should you find yourself in London, look up Fortnum and Mason and go for high tea:
It is a happy place:
Today we learned they keep bringing tea and scones and sandwiches for as long as you like. They didn’t even mind the selfie stick. Here we are with a few of The Yankee’s Study Abroad students:
Downstairs, some of the things that Fortnum and Mason sells. We got souvenirs for family:
Tomorrow, we’re going to meet some of the local media. Should be a lot of fun!
