Day in the life
7.00 am - Morning
London Ambassador: Time to wake up. I've got a busy day ahead.
7.45 am
London Ambassador: Just enough time to zip up my tracksuit.
8.00 am
London Ambassador: Make sure I've checked my watch!
8.15 am
Ready for action. Time to head for the pod.
9.00 am - Meeting the Team Leader
London Ambassador: The pod is packed with Ambassadors today. I wonder who I'll meet today.
Team leader: Morning. You'll be working around Buckingham Palace today.
Here's your PDA, which will help you with any questions you get from our visitors.
London Ambassador: Cool! These are really handy.
11.15 - Transport troubles
American gentleman: That's it. We're completely lost. And the 200m heats start in one hour.
American lady: I told you to bring the map! You never listen to me.
London Ambassador: Hi there. Do you guys need any help?
American lady: We need to get to Stratford in one hour.
American gentleman: Where's the nearest subway station?
London Ambassador: No problem. The quickest way is to go to Green Park station which is only 5 minutes away. You'll need to catch a Jubilee Line train, which will go all the way to the Stadium.
American gentleman: Phew! Thanks for the tip.
12.00pm - Lunch with other Ambassadors
Girl 1: How was your day?
London Ambassador: Really busy. I've helped about 10 people and even suggested a good place for lunch to a couple from France.
Girl 2: I even got asked a question in the lunch queue.
Girl 3: It's been a great first shift though
London Ambassador: I'm loving it too. Right, that's my lunch break over.
1.00pm - A crowded Tube platform
Businesswoman: There's no way I can fit on that. Why is it always so busy around here? I'm picking the kids up in 20 minutes, what am I supposed to do now?
London Ambassador: Can I give you a hand?
Businesswoman: What's the quickest way to Hackney?
London Ambassador: You've got two options. You can take the Overground, or you can take a bus to Hackney Wick. There were only a few people at the bus stop when I was up there.
Businesswoman: Thanks, that's brilliant. Gotta dash though!
3.00pm - End of your shift
Team leader: Hey. How did it go? Busy?
London Ambassador: I had a fantastic day, but I was a bit hot. Can I wear my own shorts tomorrow?
Team leader: I'm afraid not, as everyone needs to wear the same uniform.
London Ambassador: Oh, OK, just thought I'd check. Hope it's a bit cooler tomorrow. Here's my PDA.
Team leader: Thanks. See you tomorrow.
8.00pm - Meeting Friends
Friend: Hi. I heard you'd be volunteering. Wanna catch a film later?
London Ambassador: I'll give it a miss. It's my last shift tomorrow, and I can see my bus. I'll call you tomorrow.
