Water, boat, grabbing a bite.

In London:



It is Seine but it is not the Thames of course, just Regent's Canal.

My father's family were Londoners, but they moved away in the 1980s, and since then I've only been occasionally on day-trips and for trade fairs and that sort of dull thing. I wouldn't say I ever knew the city very well, but it has changed so much that I literally don't know what has been knocked down and built: could be anything, and I only really recognise the bits that you are likely to see popping out of underground stations or on postcards. I remember Regent's Park and the 70's zoo, but I bet none of that is recognisable now...

I remember we drove through the centre of the city a few times when we were going on holiday to Norfolk, in the early 80s. I don't think that's a route any sane person would take nowadays! :-D

That means you still have a pretty amazing place to explore not that far away from you.
