You climb to the top deck as the city wakes: Hyde Park’s plane trees shrinking behind you, Trafalgar Square’s fountain catching a pale sun, and the Thames sliding alongside like a slow, dare-you-to-skip-it ribbon. The double-decker hums past white-columned hotels and the red-brick facades of the West End, each stop a different chapter of London’s public life.
