London Transport 25: ride 25 different forms of transport in one day
Rail, Crossrail, Woolwich ferry, deep tube, bus, DLR, tram, subsurface tube, overground, Thames Clipper, cable car... the London Transport 25.

We grinned, we giggled, we pointed out our favourite riverside pubs as we sped past… we even got to take the photo below of a big red bus crossing Tower Bridge – the most London picture I’ve ever taken in my life. If that weren’t already badass enough, as our pod started descending we experienced a little turbulence, the cable car stopped temporarily, and to my utter enraptured delight we got to watch a plane land at London City Airport!
