The city wakes around the Thames: double-decker roofs glint in the low light, the river pulls the skyline together, and the Tootbus eases past Westminster as ferries nudge the water. Step onto the open deck and London unfolds in both grand gestures and small details — the horse-guards’ brass, the hush around a cathedral dome, the river daring you to follow it downstream.
