THE BOSS OF BETHNAL GREEN - a foundation story of London’s East End. At its centre a Regency Godfather with fingers in every pie and whose legacy was Victorian London’s worst slums.

1/ The Hogarth Stair, Barts North Wing - dating to the 1730s, now fully refurbished and open (at set times) to the public. Well worth a visit. 'The Pool of Bethesda' depicts Jesus curing a lame man and others seeking treatment.

Goodness, tempus fugit. Evidently it was 20 years ago today that I was enjoying teatime at what was then my favourite café. And from my window seat I was surveying various pointy things at the other side of St Andrew Street...
