“The building is unprepossessing compared to the modern skyscrapers of Canary Wharf’s banking behemoths, but it’s set slightly away from them and looks down on one of the area’s water-filled docks. The entrance is across a small bridge and down some steps in a concrete amphitheatre surrounded by the apartment building.” (Fraser Place Canary Wharf, Business Traveller)

Fountain Court

Fountain Court
Middle Temple
City of London
London, January 2005

“On the perimeter of this circle lies Fountain Court, amid the buildings of the Temple; there has been a small fountain there for three hundred years, commemorated by writers as diverse as Dickens and Verlaine, while the softness and serenity of this small spot have been experienced by many generations. The fountain and its pool were once square-fenced with palisades, then encircled by iron railings, but now stand unbarred; whether in a square, or a round, or open on all sides, the fountain plays on, and its atmosphere has remained constantly evocative. One Londoner came here as a schoolboy, with no knowledge of its history or its associations, and immediately fell under the spell of its enchantment; it was as if innumerable good acts or kind words had emerged here as calmly and as quietly as the little fountain itself. At last, in these pages, he has the chance of recording his debt.” (Peter Ackroyd, London: The Biography)

“Ghost Bikes are small and somber memorials for bicyclists who are killed or hit on the street. A bicycle is painted all white and locked to a street sign near the crash site, accompanied by a small plaque. They serve as reminders of the tragedy that took place on an otherwise anonymous street corner, and as quiet statements in support of cyclists' right to safe travel.” (Ghost Bikes)

“By the 1800s the extravagant signs were all but gone from Lombard Street. In 1902, Frederick George Hilton Price, a banker on Lombard, and the author of ‘The Signs of Old Lombard Street’, helped resurrect 23 of the signs to correspond with the coronation of King Edward VII. Among them were a grasshopper, the family heraldic symbol of a Thomas Grisham who founded the Royal exchange, an anchor, a cat playing a fiddle, and a crown above a head. They're the only four that remain today.” (Signs of Old Lombard Street, Atlas Obscura)

“Putney Bridge is a Grade II listed bridge over the River Thames in west London, linking Putney on the south side with Fulham to the north. Before the first bridge was built in 1729, a ferry had shuttled between the two banks. The current format is three lanes southbound (including one bus lane) and one lane (plus cycle lane/bus stop) northbound. Putney High Street, a main approach, is part of a London hub for retail, offices, food, drink and entertainment. Putney Embankment hosts Putney Pier for riverboat services immediately south-west of the bridge as well as the capital's largest set of facilities in rowing. The Pier in the sport marks one end of the Championship Course.” (Putney Bridge, Wikipedia)
