Drovers Road and Markets Cycle Route

My cycle route back from the Old Operating Theatre Museum this afternoon

Borough Market - listening to a band underneath the Railway arches by the Globe
London Bridge
City
Bishopsgate
Spitalfields
Christchurch
Brick Lane
Columbia Road
Broadway Market
London Fields (London Fields Drovers Road)
Hackney Mare St
where I saw a Latvian Dance Troupe on a cultural exchange - I asked what we were going to offer in exchange - the Hockey Cokey perhaps?

St Augustine's Tower
St John's
Clapton

It is quite an amazing slice of London and at the weekends this route is just heaving with people having fun.
