Well after a good nights sleep, well I did but Martyn woke up complaining bitterly that he was kept awake by another form of wind from Leigh? we woke up to.. yes you guessed it, RAIN! but with the added benefit of of strong winds with gusts up to gale force strength..nice!

From there we wandered along the river across Millennium Bridge to The Globe and back to Saint Paul's before finishing down at the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London.
