underpass with favourite son

            We opted to go for the traditional British custom of Sunday roast near London Bridge, meeting up with age-old chum Maurice from Zeta Psi, who was still in town a bit longer.  The venue was Hawksmoor Borough on the south bank, which had gotten high marks from those we asked. Alas, when we arrived and ordered, we discovered that the roast is meant to be had in the post-church afternoon hours, and they were quite out of stock by the time we arrived at a more suppertime hour.  Vaguely embarrassed at our ignorance, we proceeded to enjoy our meal of non-roast meats.  

After dinner, we migrated through the cobbled streets, under the Cannon Street Railway Bridge, pictured here passing above.  The Clink -- the old British jail, that is -- was on the site, now memorialized with a museum as the prison is long defunct.  Also on the underside of the bridge underpass, a colorful mural of Britain's favourite son Shakespeare, blazoned in a rainbow pinwheel and clutching the classic skull of Yorick.
