Rowing
James Cracknell enjoyed the ride.
Working over in the east side of town today. Took advantage of the break in our current monsoon season to ride across. The best way to see London although probably best not to take a picture on route & given the quality of this one they wouldn't have been any good! #enjoythesun pic.twitter.com/V2r3jYh6xJ
