Its narrow road is lined by densely packed houses and shops. Since you cannot see the river, it is difficult to tell that you are on a bridge rather than simply a city street. To the east, you notice a printers shop. [Exits: n s] A tradesman strolls briskly to his next employment. The trail to your prey leads south. It is fair. (AFK [GT 10:16 pm] HP:247/406 MA:331/450 MV:62% GP:228 Standing)> London Bridge Ambling along the bridge, you marvel at the daring of the inhabitants who live here. You doubt that a bridge could be an overly safe place during times of war since it presents an obvious target to those who would besiege London; the large gate at the south end seems scarely heavy enough to keep out local thieves, let alone an army of Spanish soldiers. As you muse on these grave thoughts, the colorful striped pole of a barber-surgeon attracts your eye. You also notice a narrow stair which leads downward. [Exits: n s d] A magpie perches with a bit of stolen meat. A rat catcher adjusts a trap. A tradesman strolls briskly to his next employment. The trail to your prey leads down. It is fair. (AFK [GT 10:17 pm] HP:247/406 MA:331/450 MV:61% GP:228 Standing)> You abandon the trail. The South Bank In the distance, you can see the roofs of the theaters and bear pits which flourish outside of the City walls. Although there are some theatres north of the river, the lower rents and looser laws of Southwarke have persuaded many theatre owners to shift their business southward. Officially part of London, Southwarke is not altogether under its jurisdiction, a fact which gives it the popular name "the Liberties." Here, one may see many a spectacle, both common and illicit. London Bridge with its gate rises to the north, while the lane continues southward. [Exits: n s] A bluejay is here, chirping happily. A local peasant is roaming here. (AFK [GT 10:17 pm] HP:247/406 MA:331/450 MV:61% GP:228 Standing)> The Road to Canterbury Although this road is wider than those in London, it is as bustling as those in London, crowded with the press of bodies flowing between the various inns and amusements of Southwarke. Should you choose to follow it southward, the road would carry you toward Canterbury, the shrine of the holy martyr, Thomas of Beckett. However, should your intentions be more secular this fine day, there is much to divert your attention hither. [Exits: n e s w] An itinerant musician ambles about. A farmwife smiles gaily. A young matron loiters. (AFK [GT 10:17 pm] HP:247/406 MA:331/450 MV:60% GP:228 Standing)> Road to Canterbury An ancient but still serviceable Roman road wends its way east to the Channel here. The well-traveled but not quite as impressively paved road to Canterbury leads south, and a clearly marked section of the King's Road leads north to London, according to the signpost by the side of the road. There is also an empty gibbet by the side of the road, but you doubt you want to ask it directions.

The water here is washing gently along the rocks, but it still looks as gray and cold as the English Channel has throughout history. A well-trod road leads north and an ancient Roman road goes west from here. A small treacherous path leads down to the sandy beach below.

They really do look that white from close up too. The chalky limestone is slowly eroding and continuously renewing the glaring white surface. The English Channel separates you from the French coastline to the east. [Exits: e u] A small rowboat, crude and ugly, sits here.
