Can I explore London by Roller skating?
I'm French and I plan to stroll in London for a few days.
I usually enjoy sightseeing alone, on my roller skates. In France it's mostly allowed to skate on sidewalks, you may even sneak between the cars (if you are agile enough, cops usually don't mind/notice). What about London?
