Gloomy undercroft

I was inspired by an article in the Guardian to visit this pedestrian route that leads to a spectacular and quiet view of the Thames.

" an unprepossessing staircase leads off the cobbled street. There doesn’t seem to be much reason to climb the steps, tucked away behind a row of granite columns at the base of a dumpy office block, but inquisitive walkers will be rewarded. Those who follow the stairs find themselves led along a walkway, shuttled across a bridge above a busy dual carriageway, channelled through a gloomy undercroft, finally emerging on to a deserted piazza raised above the Thames."


So the blip is the gloomy undercroft, and the extras are views from the piazza.
