We get it. Sometimes it just takes a little longer to get going in the morning and your productivity can suffer. Prepare yourself for the day ahead. Look beyond the Thames and over to the stately Houses of Parliament and Big Ben. The unhurried flow of double-decker buses on Westminster Bridge. The London Eye awaits its first passengers of the day as the barges come to life. In the cool light of a London daybreak, there is no rush. One can almost imagine the whiff of Earl Grey, the steam rising from the cup even as the final wisps of fog lift off the river, a curtain coming up to reveal the British morning.
