King's Arms  by boxplayer

King's Arms

In Newcomen Street off Borough High Street. There were once loads of coaching inns down little yards off Borough High Street ministering to the needs of travellers leaving London, this being the last bit of civilisation before you hit deepest darkest Kent - hence the Old Kent Road. Only one original remains, the George Inn, a must-see for any visitor to London with it's wooden galleries just like in Shakespeare's time (he very likely drunk there).

A busy musical day and Dave cooked me a halloumi fry-up to sustain me. First a new folk session, quite good if a bit loud. And after ceilidh band class learning Leaving Uist, mainly focusing on the chordal accompaniment.

Home to drink more mulled gloggi and play with sparklers in lieu of fireworks. Our old neighbours who we used to enjoy Guy Fawkes Night with messaged to say hello - we miss them especially when you can hear the bangs going off all around.
