London was built on the Thames and this cruise gives a sense of the city that was once capital of the world’s greatest empire. The journey reveals centuries of history and tradition: the dome of St. Paul’s Cathedral, one of the first churches built after the 17th century Great Fire, Billingsgate Fish Market, and the infamous Tower of London. Starting near Westminster we pass under ten bridges, including the Millennium Bridge and the magnificent Tower Bridge, built in 1894. At journey’s end we taste our way through the Vinopolis Wine Museum and explore Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. For more information check out Journeys through the British Isles, episode #7.
