Sun rides the London Eye Timelapse

With the sun still setting on the London Eye from a lively hilltop in southeast London on what was forecast to be a beautifully clear and warm evening (goldilocks temperature of 26 degrees, a stark contrast to previous day's cooking 35deg heatwave), I invited my astronomy friends to join me, and we were treated to this sunset as predicted by my python program i wrote. It was a fun evening vibe, beers (which was considered as the highest priority by some).
