Went pottery shard hunting with my son today, but got to the river just as the tide came in... I'm not very good at interpreting the
tide tables. We had hours to kill until the tide went out again, so we wandered along the Thames, looking for things to do.
We found the
Bankside Gallery - a free gallery just next to Tate Modern, that was showing an illustration exhibition. It was really good! I never even knew that gallery existed - I'll definitely be going back. There is a great bookshop there and you can buy artwork and prints as well.
We also went to the Tate Modern, up to the Public Viewing Gallery in Oxo Tower, saw the Fusion Gallery (jewellery) at Oxo Tower, Gabriel's Wharf for Lunch, and even wandered into St. Paul's Cathedral... 5 1/2 hours later the tide went out enough for us to go and collect shards...

Tania, Sounds like you spent a wonderful day with you Son. I also hope that you were able to find a lot of wonderful shards for your collection.
