Rubber dare around London!

HELP! They got what they wished for! They had always liked the idea of being dared to cross London wearing nothing by rubber suits! Till it happened! Way to late now! They only have oyster cards, digital camera and GPS tracker, water with them! House keys, phones etc have been taken off them!

Oh course, they have stop off at various locations along the way and take photos at them!
