..... 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.
I came across that during my snoopings earlier today - it took me a moment to realise I was standing on gravestones.
It's nice to see the ancient being incorporated into the modern.BTW it was the realisation that it had to be the Walbrook river that you were referring to, that had me print a map of it's course and re-trace it back form the Thames .....

One thing which threw me for quite a while was thinking that I was looking at the river - when in fact what I was looking at was the polished floor of an as yet unoccupied building.
I need a little lie-down after that ;)Oh, and of course, as I'm there today lens-flexing, all the police in the country are also present because the Paralympic torch is due at Guildhall at midday. Just the time to be snooping round alleyways....

Lovely little enclave - Oxford Court off Salt Hall Court.
The Building you're looking through is the Walbrook Building which, of course, sits on top of the Walbrook River, and I think the reference to 'bullish gods' is to traders as the original Stock Market was on the site of wht is now Guildhall - also atop the Walbrook.New

Posted on behalf of its owner who's not on here, but was advised by Titus Halliwell of task force fame to get a notice up here:
Stolen: Condor Fratello
Old Street, London.
Sometime between 13:00 and 15:30 yesterday (Tuesday 24 Jan).
Dark grey with new red bar tape. Shimano 105. Rack. Raceblades. Smallish size - the owner is 5'5".Any news please get in touch with me - I can get messages through to the owner.
So, I had given up on this, as it was so long ago.
And as things pass, the in-sewer-ants have coughed and Alaina has, for a while now, been riding a shiny replacement bike.
For reasons still not really clear to me, out of the blue, on the morning of April 13th I went to www.bikeshd.co.uk, typed in the word 'Fratello' and the first thing which it threw up was a link to the e-bay sale of Alaina's bike!
I put in a call to Sgt.Titus Halliwell from the Cycle Task Force, took instruction in what to do next, and duly did as I was told. (There's a first)To cut a long story short, yesterday morning Alaina collected her recovered Fratello from the police, in Southwark, where she lives
The Frat had been on holiday in Greece in the interim, and the police had gone to the trouble of recovering the bike from somewhere in Oxfordshire and returning it to London.
The point of this post?
Just to say a massive big up to all those at the Cycle Task Force who made this happen.
Peeps, if you are unfortunate enough to have your bike nicked – be aware that there are folk out there who are doing their damnedest to get it back to you.Folk who are modest enough to say “It’s what I’m paid to do”.
Chapeau!Oh, and I’m told registering on Immobilise deserves a mention.

As the last had connections to water, this has connections to waterfowl.
Let me quantify that a bit - some of the occupants of this building are well connected to a particular type of waterfowl.
