Start with the buzz of South Bank—musicians, buskers and museum façades—then let the river guide you toward the London Eye’s glass ribs, the long profile of Westminster and the bronze lions at Trafalgar Square. Street life tugs at the frame; reflective puddles and late‑day light reshape familiar architecture.
