From Tower Bridge, we will head west along the River. Passing such sites as The Shard, London Bridge, Borough Market and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. This tour gives you the perfect opportunity to learn more about Southwark – the London borough that includes a quirky combination of history and modern invention.

At the end of the tour, you are free to continue using your E-Scooter. Perhaps you want to continue down the river or cross over to Parliament Square. Or, you might want to catch a ride on the London Eye or grab dinner at a delightful riverside restaurant. The possibilities are endless.
