It will be a very long walk from Thameslink's Blackfriars southern
exit to the London Eye. I doubt that even 1% of tourists would
consider it.

You're right. Walking along a famous river through the centre of a
world famous city

They've dug out the Houndsditch ? That's going to mess up the traffic
a bit, isn't it ?


Houndsditch was by the city walls, not in the centre of the city.

Indeed. Wonkypaedia manages to describe it in a manner which puts
Bishopsgate in the NW of the capital implying that the ditch crosses
it diagonally.

They've dug out the Walbrook.

That will be a relief to the Lord Mayor, the pots must be overflowing
by now. ;-)
