I'm surprised at you oat44 :) my clues too literal perhaps?
Markfield is ace, it's cool to see the big mechanical things in action, but I also like to sit on top of the mound that overlooks the skatepark with the two train lines behind. and there is a funny little "ecology garden" that usually has a group of surly but benign teenagers in it, that is quite picturesque in a scruffy way. both the ecology garden and skatepark make use of the concrete structures of the old sewage filter beds. only thing disappointing is the cafe...
oh, btw the photo I'd intended to take is from the top of the steps to St Stephen Walbrook, looking out across the excavation site. really worth a visit (if you like that sort of thing). there is also a brand new Rothschild HQ nearby, which has a clever view from their entrance on the tiny St Swithins Lane through another secret garden to the back of the church. also worth a visit, it's very shiny. sadly, you can't quite walk through from one side to the other, even though the design seems intended that way.
