SE1, Blackfriars Bridge underpass

This south-bank pedestrian tunnel is decorated with prints from the Guildhall Library.  At the western end of the tunnel some spoof text has been added: 

“Unimpressed with the selection of flat-pack bridges offered, a design from the argos catalogue was chosen via public vote in the spring of 1757.  Upon the bridge’s arrival the instruction booklet was lost immediately by head surveyor Robert Mylne.”

We can’t find out when this was installed but it was still there in 2014.  Hats off to Hannah Wilson, the art student responsible.
