The last of the 30 days of September was a FridayFridayFriday and I had planned to meet up with my friend Iain to go and see some late night art at the Royal Academy. It was also Critical Mass day and I was hoping to see the crowds cycle past, as they usually do, which unfortunately didn't happen. (Just to explain, I used to ride CM a few times last year but got annoyed with a lot of the unreasonable aggression on both the cyclists side and the motorists. Well and then that incident at the Brazilian CM happened - I found this hard to watch; not for the faint hearted!)
The art thing we wanted to see wasn't happening until late October so we walked down to the river to have a few cocktails on the rooftops of the Southbank. It was super warm and I didn't even need a coat on my journey home.
Here are my photos from DAY 30: 30.9.11 (15.63miles)

| The Royal Academy where we hoped to see the reconstruction of Tatlin's Tower... |
 |
| ...but even though we were a month too early, we enjoyed hanging out in this simply stunning courtyard! |
 |
| Fortnum&Mason, a crazy posh food store where The Queen shops! A tourist's must, even if you don't have the buck! |
 |
| Left: on Regents Street leading to Picadilli Circus. Right: on the Waterloo pedestrian bridge overlooking the Thames. |
 |
| I heart the London Eye, but have never been on it! |
 |
| WHAT A BEAUTY! Aaaahhh London at night, London when it's warm... |
 |
| The Southbank was hustling and bustling with people busy enjoying themselves! |
 |
| Roof terrace shenanigans. |
 |
| On the way to our next roof top bar... |
 |
| ...we saw a great photographic exhibition about a British army camp in Helmand, Afghanistan. |
 |
| I love that huge Fox (made from straw and plywood) on top of the Hayward! |
 |
| Our last stop of the night, Concrete Bar. The cute fairy lights up there are underpants - real ones! |
That's all Folks. Thanks for reading! XXX
