The Ferryman’s seat was actually rescued from a skip. When Riverside House, the home of Ofcom and the College of Policing, was being built, the stone was thrown away and only found by chance. I was told this story by the late Head of Facilities at Ofcom, Johnny Kaye. A true gentleman and ex-officer of the Gurkha Regiment. You missed the old cannon bollard outside Eat by Southwark Bridge. You can tell it’s a genuine cannon as you can see where the trunnions were cut off.

Hi Rob. Now this is an area I know very well as I worked for Waterman in Pickfords Wharf (as seen on the wall at 7:47) but I was unaware of the ferrymen's seat so will need to look that up. Great video which is very informative. In relation to filming locations there is also the entrance to Bridget Jones flat in Bedale Street which sits above the Globe Tavern in Borough Market.

@@lesleyscott938 lol. There used to be zero protections. Roman london, saxon, Tudor, Victorian london… were always being pulled down and replaced. The Georgians and Victorians demolished a massive amount of old London. We value and protect historic London far better today then we ever have before. Maybe we should protect even more than we do, but it’s ridiculous to claim that we aren’t better at protecting historic architecture

Hi Rob, London is very notable for the different character of its various quarters. One thing I like about Borough is the overhead railway lines - it's crisscrossed by viaducts. I worked there for the Jubilee Line extension, and surveyed all the buildings above the line from London Bridge Stn. to Blackfriars Road. Lunch was taken invariably at the George - very pleasant! Luckily I was never accosted by a Winchester Goose.

Really appreciate that Andy, thank you. Yes, Borough Market was quite different back then wasn’t it! Cheers and stay well 😉

My mother was born in Southwark and lived on the south side of Southwark Bridge until just after WWII. I know all the places you show in this video.

I mentioned I'd had an engagement at the BFI and was lodging near Tower Bridge so used to walk from there and through Borough and the market, rather than the City,, lovely to get the historical background and an enjoyable area to visit. Lots of interesting bits. Must explore more next time. Thanks Rob. Great vid.
