On an open-top double-decker the night air moves like a second guide—cool, insistent—while the Thames dares you to look away. In two hours you sweep past the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Abbey, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Tower of London, each façade reinterpreted in streetlights and reflections.
