10 march part two along the southern side of thames river
On the way to the thames river, we passed by vinopolis. ANother polis. biopolis, fusion polis. Its a place selling wine and beer. Cheap wine. Perhaps will buy wine before going back home to singapore. 
A map of vinopolis.
Walking along the river side to shakespeare globe theatre. Southwark bridge in the background.
I suddenly remember the name of the cathedral at borough market. Its southwark cathedral. There is a story to the cathedral. A rich miser wanted to save money and pretended to be dead. He thought that his servants would mourn for him and live simply for a time period. Alas, he was wrong. They celebrated his death by spendin a lot of money. He was so angry that he died. His daughter, on hearing the news, sent for the lover to receive the inheritance. The lover died on his way to see her. Thus, the daughter was terribly distraught by the deaths and did some mission work and gave money as well. Then the cathedral was built. 
Underpass.
The shakespeare globe museum and theatre. We din go in though. Not free. Haha. Tate modern is beside it. But we din see it. Tate modern is supposed to be the ART MUSEUM. Europe's most successful contemporary art gallery and London's number one attraction. Was not readin the map then. So we missed it. Oh well, we can come back another day.
We retraced our steps back to vinopolis and continued in the direction of Tower Bridge. Along the way we passed some people gathered in front of a signboard. 
Wouldn't have known there is an interesting palace ruin otherwise.

As we walked we ate the tomatoes and strawberries that we had bought from borough market. The tomatoes were really sweet. The flavour and juice erupts in your mouth.
