Creeping it real....

[@mercurialno6]

The original ship is long gone but that replica is beautiful! What a strange place for it to be (/probably loads of historical reasons for it being there.)

The Mercurial Number Six Rent was probably cheap when placed there as Southwark didn't really get regenerated until the last decade. I knew it 20 and 30 years ago when it was a shithole.

I never hang around long enough to find out...but it's magnificent.....but I'm a sucker for sailing ships of old

Cool to see a stroll along the River Thames. Isn’t it funny how you can live or work in a place for years but never truly see many places until you venture out exploring different routes on foot?

[@keithwallis9799]

Bloody hell, never knew Charlie's boat was tucked away in that little corner. There you go, public service broadcasting ;-)

ha ha

[@MarksNaughtyGuitars]

another great walkie talkie, thanks for doing all these duncan, loved every one. when i grow up i wanna be a pirate, so it was great to see the golden hind, the most famous privateer ship of them all. yo ho

[@DKGCustom]

...and a bottle of rum!!! Lets steal the ship and take to the high seas...or tides at least

Yellow rain, yellow rain. Yellow rain, yellow rain... It's the Globe, Dunc', but very close to the site of Bill's Rose Theatre. It's Southwark Bridge. You could have walked round to the FT building, which houses the nerve centre of that famous pink paper. You walked right past it. The station with the two towers (not Tolkien) is Cannon Street. There are far better boozers, such as The Rake on Stoney Street, The Sheaf on Southwark Street, The Old King's Head on King's Head Yard, or The George, featuring the last remaining coaching inn gallery on Borough High Street. Not far from there is the wonderful Royal Oak on Tabard Street. Harvey's beer, no music, fruit machines on silent in a lobby and great food. I'll be down that way tonight seeing some mates who still work down there for a few scoops and a curry.

Cor blimey...that would be funny to bump into you on a walkabout!!!

[@idahodad1]

London is definitely a walking town.

[@DKGCustom]

And obviously better if you dont know where youre going

Your viewers may be interested to know you were a stone's throw by the bridge from Knightrider Court (leading to Knightrider Street) where The Centre Page is (meh). And behind there is the College of Arms, where Americans find their family crests. There is also a church, St Andrew by the Wardrobe just near where you were, too. In fact, I would recommend all who visit London to wander around the City's churches (yes, by foot) to see some making spaces and architecture that is almost 400 years old.

And not a piece of fibre glass in sight!

It's hard to imagine just how much stuff must be tucked away in various corners of London, I am sure you could take these nightly walks for many months and still not manage to take it all in : )

[@DKGCustom]

I know I'm even missing stuff as I walk around....I'm wading through history and interesting stuff here

[@anthonyhull5182]

As I take these walks with you haha it is so real how much history there is in just one of your cities. I have never been to London and probably will never get a chance. So in my opinion this is kinda cool thanks Dunc. My last name of Hull is one reason i would love to go to England just to see a huge part of my lineage. I have only been told about the town and University. I think that would be fun. Have a great night. Drink a pint for me brother

[@DKGCustom]

You're so right....I had the pleasure of working in Rome...you cant walk anywhere there without tripping over history...cheers Fella

This is the kind of shit people visiting London need to avoid. And The Blackfriar is another great boozer; a mini flat iron building serving great beer.

[@DKGCustom]

You mean Ripley's Believe it or Not? Yeah...dog shite tourist trap....and there's plenty places to strip you of your holiday funds. I found out the other day that Monument has a laboratory under it, for Christopher Wren and Co...its going to be opened up to the public soon....for extra cash of course

DKGCustom Well, I'd pay to see it. The City has so much more to offer that tourists never see because they want to go to Buck House and go shopping FFS.

[@hushband7098]

The Black Pearl!

[@DKGCustom]

lol

Tate Modern on your right, Dunc', Shard in the background.

[@DKGCustom]

You need to be sitting on my shoulders as I do this

DKGCustom That would be a bad idea...
