the carved stone arms from the georgian rebuild of the southwark gatehouse of the original london bridge, these were carved in 1728, bought by the pub owner in 1760, the year of george 3's coronation and so brought up to date before being added to the front of his pub where they remain.

the 1702 chapel of st.thomas's hospital and the treasurer's apartments to the east once formed the south side of the hospital courtyard; the garret of which housed an operating theatre and herbal pharmacy. the hospital moved to lambeth in 1868, the chapel is now an office and the attics a medical museum

this must be the oldest religious building known in the city of london, probably in use from the late c2- early c4. like a church , it had an apse at one end, a vestibule at the other, rows of columns dividing the 'aisles' used for seating from the central 'nave', and a wooden well or font near the altar and sanctuary. this is a poor restoration, and seems little regarded for what pevsner called one of the most important roman buildings found in britain
