Look up on Grey Street
The street curves downhill from Grey's Monument towards the river, so the best view of its stone fronts is from the top.

The covered market has more than 100 businesses, including cafés and food stalls. Opening hours are on its own website.
Follow the town walls
Sections of the medieval wall, with Morden Tower and Durham Tower, run behind Stowell Street in Chinatown, a few minutes from Blackfriars.
Match days
