I was thinking more of having to fight the current on an ebbing tide. I think the tide turned at about 6 p.m. yesterday at London, if online information could be trusted.

The tide turning time is right. In fact, as the ship arrived in what used to be called "The Pool of London'' I checked the tide tables and wondered where the barge might have moored because it wouldn't have been able to go any further upriver. London Bridge (the one still here, not the one now in the US) is the next bridge upstream and it's too low for the barge to have passed. The most logical mooring nearby would in St Katherine's dock but that's downstream from Tower Bridge. Which is why I found myself speculating about the need to pass Tower Bridge at rush hour.
(As we were messing around on bikes on cycleways and side roads, it didn't involve us, but now that we all seem to have to drive bigger and bigger cars in less road space, we saw a lot of stationary traffic. I haven't asked @PeteXXX about how much he was held up on Tower Bridge itself but it was close to 7pm and virtually gridlocked when I last saw him.)

Back home after a long drive to the south coast so son no. 2 could do a 10 mile ride (national TT). Result was OK, embarrassing child photo at the finish:
Then a quick bike kit swap (TT bars off, wheels swapped and junior cassette back on, Garmin mount swapped, light off) ready for a local road race tomorrow morning

I've ridden over Tower Bridge before, but that was early Sunday morning. Friday afternoon rush hour was probably easier as I was moving faster than the traffic (until a van driver didn't want me to filter past him but that was almost at the North end of the bridge.. Hey ho
Edit to add the 25 mile route for the day

Morning.
The sun seems to have just risen or broken through some cloud as everywhere has just suddenly lit up .
The sky to the east was really pretty when I went down earlier.
Going to drink my coffee now .

I thought I was being so kind by flicking a wasp out of the bird bath as it was having trouble swimming to the edge.
It all went wrong when I my 'flick' propelled it straight into a spider's Web 🕸
Maybe it was just it's time 😔

A gentle ride around the Kent coast sounds like a very good idea. Hmm, a fish and chips lunch might be a welcome addition to the plan.
