The Banksy in Borough Market...

...well, the site where (it is claimed) he originally stencilled "This is not a photo opportunity" that then got a (fairly poorly done, but carefully varnished) "Laugh now" when the first work was removed, seems to have been updated with a little note -

Borough Market Christmas

My new commute...

London bridge
Into London Bridge...(and straight out again through the nice new barriers)...
Borough market
...walk (smugly) past the huge queue for the bus stop I used to wait at for the number 17, cross the road and wander through Borough Market (trying to resist the Salt Beef breakfasts)...
Thames from Southwark Bridge
...along the Thames and then up the steps onto Southwark Bridge...!  Apart from the same old initial train journey the whole thing takes about 5 minutes (if I don't get distracted)... ;)

The tube was *packed* again today, so everyone is definitely back at work (worse luck), still, by taking my secret shortcut to the Borough High Street entrance I spotted a little art installation high up on the wall above this railway bridge -
Space Invaders Attack London - Mosaic
- (click that picture to enlarge the image and you'll be able to see) it's a tiny mosiac, playing on the iconic "I (heart) NY", but instead spelling out "I (space invader) LDN", a touch harsh, perhaps...even if the tube network might deserve a bit of hot plasma, there are some nice other bits worth saving... ;)
