Thank you all so much! I wasn't totally sold on the HOHO bus, but was feeling like it was part of the London Pass and it was an expensive ticket, so we should use it. For now, I'm going to take it off our itinerary and spend the day in Greenwich instead. As for rain, we're just going to have to dress appropriately and deal with it 😊.
