“The weekend before Christmas, the weather was cold but dry so we enjoyed the open air. Traffic was busy especially on the Saturday, so the blue route took a long time…we had a reservation at the Natural History Museum, so jumped onto the Tube to get home! Thoroughly enjoyed two days riding around London - a great way to see all the sights!”
