Friday night, a few friends and I journeyed down to a part of London known as More London. That always makes me giggle, because I have yet to find "Less London." There is an outdoor amphitheatre there, called the Scoop, and for the month of September, they have been showing different films for free on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Last night's film was the African Queen with Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn. I couldn't wait to watch it along them Thames.
It made for a very fun evening. I popped popcorn at home and packed a goody bag for us all. We grabbed blankets and jackets and made our way to Tower Hill station. I love exiting the tube at Tower Hill. As you leave the station, you walk directly towards the Tower of London. Walking around the Tower of London, you then see Tower Bridge. As it happens, just as we were arriving, the bridge was being opened to allow a ship through. I've actually only ever seen that happen in films. It did mean we had to wait a little bit to cross over to the South Bank.
Once we arrived, we settled into our spots to wait for the film to start. It was a very festive atmosphere, because most people were with a group and had also brought picnic food. It was also a perfect evening for something like this.

| No matter how many photos I take of it, I always am captivated by the beauty of Tower Bridge at night. |
On the way home, I insisted on a few pictures with the Bridge. It's too pretty not to! All it all, it was a very nice way to spend a Friday night.
