Recordist's notes

Another tunnel for the Thames footpath and another loud air conditioning outlet. It is always dry and homeless people sleep here. It is beside the Banker riverside pub, very popular at lunchtime and a couple of historic cannons (guns) are placed incongruously nearby. Typical City of London juxtapositions. Tourists and joggers pass by.
