Chose to do this on a sunny day with a friend of mine and did not regret it! It’s a little bit out of the way so make sure to plan you’re day around it. It was super easy to hop on with an oyster card and there were such great views from the car. Great little experience in London that not many tend to think of. We made sure to start on the side of the river that didn’t have much going on so that when we got to the other side, we could explore the area and have lunch.
