Yesterday I went to our office in the London City, the central area of town.

The weather was as it should be in London: gray and rainy. I left the hotel and quickly went inside again to pick up my jacket. A colleague told me later that the weather had been like this all summer.

I took a red double decker bus to work and got there in 25 minutes. The working day was very productive. I went for dinner with a colleague, and after I got back to the hotel I went for a run to the river, crossing the Thames over the Millennium bridge, very cool.

There's 'congestion charging' throughout London now. It takes between 7 and 10 pounds ($14 to $21) just to get into the city by car per day. Obviously, that excludes parking.
