Actually, scrub that. Tell her it's London, and hence not worth 
photographing in the first place... :-P

We've been there for a couple of days before, so we're fully aware that what 
you all call "partly sunny" we'd call "pouring rain".  In San Diego, "partly 
sunny" means there's a cloud. In London, "partly cloudy" means you can tell 
which direction the sun is shining from by looking at the clouds.

That's the problem. It might be sunny at any moment, no matter how brief, at 
which time PHOTOGRAPHS!  :-)

To much sun gives you to harch shadows. Partly cloudy to overcast is 
often prefered by most serious photographers.

And then, the rain will add a nice glossy sheen that can be prety 
esthetic, if you are ready to work with, and use, it to your advantage.
And London been London, you expect rain each and every day... ;P

You never know it might be sunny for your whole trip.
