Pause in the middle of the road, if safe of course. There is a grating I the road. Listen carefully, the noise you can hear is the rushing of water - the water of the River Fleet.
The building opposite is Reid's Brewery Co Ltd. Note the Griffin on the wall. The building behind you is Griffin House. Note the clock.
Whitbread's Bottling plant Q Finish at St Pancras Station. Visit the Undercroft, the place where the shops are. The distance between the supporting columns is a multiple of a the width of a beer barrel and not any measure of feet and inches.
