Millennium Bridge, London

After The Design Museum, we walked along to The Tate Modern with its suggestive paintings on the outside of its walls (enough said...) and picked a leaflet which guided you through 'Urban Art' in nearby streets. Although we had a map, the art proved to be very elusive - "Is that light bulb hanging over there meant to be the art installation?" We were heard to say. We walked through some very 'dodgy' places, and this was in daylight - many of the installations were meant to be viewed at night. The highlight of the tour was a gallery we stumbled across and on viewing its works went to see a short movie - we had a choice of two, one of which carried a warning about containing some sexually graphic material. You can guess - we managed to go to the wrong one and then by the time we'd worked out which one it was, it was too late...
