The tour got off late due to an issue with getting the bikes out of the garage area. Definitely need more time at Buckingham palace (we had about 5 minutes after the tour guide finished for pictures and should have at least 15) and at the Borough Market (we were given 15 minutes to explore and should have had at least 30 to try and explore more- we didn’t even get to both sides of the market in 15).
