Love Gordon’s on Embankment too 🙂 The park there is a great place to relax on a work day lunctime – especially when the sun is out!

the best things to do are often to explore it on foot.

As for the locals, there aren’t really any, mostly there are Ozzy’s – SA’ers and then the tourists!

take the DLR and get off a ISLAND GARDENS,then walk under the river thames using the old foot tunnel,all dug by hand,it will be something you will never forget,

sit in the front of the DLR as it starts to go down the slope into bank and raise your arms up rollercoaster style – see if that doesn’t embarrass the girlfriend 🙂
