The morning light skates off the Thames as a pair of road-legal electric karts line up by the Embankment. Helmets click, headsets test, and a local guide threads the group into traffic lanes normally reserved for taxis and buses. For sixty minutes the city changes rhythm—Big Ben’s chimes pull focus one block, Buckingham Palace’s gates recede the next—and the guide times commentary to photo stops and content-friendly angles.
