The morning opens on the north bank of the Thames: gulls wheel above the river and the Tower of London looms, stonework seamed by centuries of tide and human drama. A private guide leads you through narrow lanes and along the riverfront, voices shrinking into the acoustics of old streets as you move from the fortress to the arched sweep of Tower Bridge.
