The boat slips from Tower Pier and the Thames takes the lead — a long ribbon of grey moving past stone and glass. You settle at a window table as the city slides by: the crenellated Tower of London gives way to the raised bascules of Tower Bridge, the shard of glass pointing skyward, and the domed shimmer of the London Eye across the river. The river's current seems to escort you downstream while plates arrive: a straightforward two-course lunch with the option of tea or coffee.
