What beautiful, evocative photographs. Love the passers by and the angles chosen.

If you’re walking all the way from the Jamaica to the Black Firar you should take the opportunity to look in at The Cockpit on Ireland Yard on the way.

When researhing alehouses of England and their signs I saw that the first coffee houses and gin shops first appeared a bit later in East London. So I really love these pictures. .

I had a Japanese boss way back in the early 90s who used to like going to The Anchor for lunch, I remember how bowed the upstairs dining room floor was and the lovely view across the Thames if you were lucky enough to get a window table.

The George at Borough High Street brings fond memories of a former work colleague who has lived in Southwark for 40 years, we used to sometimes go there to eat (also to the Founders Arms on Bankside).

I also remember one called the Samuel Pepys that is long gone, it had a balcony outside that was made from timber salvaged from the Great Fire.

The Old Bell and the Ship Tavern have managed to elude my beady eye thus far in my perambulations around the good hostelries of Old London town but i intend to put that right straight away on my next visit.

By the crispness of your photos i’m presuming you weren’t partaking of the alcoholic substances on your own amble? Or perhaps a half in every other one? Whatever. It was great to see not everywhere has been pulled down. Yet.
