In the neighbourhood with John Snow and Marianne Faithful

(viewed 572 times)

Can't beat a meandering walk through London. You never know what you'll find ... the water pump in the top picture is the birthplace of modern epidemiology. John Snow linked an outbreak of cholera to this pump in the 19th Century and has since appeared in practically every book on public health since.

Bottom picture - Marianne Faithfull lived on this wall for two years in the 1970s.

Yeah, it's a cool pub Billion. Very old school. Like John Snow, I guess.

It was on my mind last Saturday D. I'm doing some work in London over the next month or so, I'll drop you a note when I'm in town.
