One Eye Grey at Brockwell Lido

One Eye Grey, a penny dreadful for the 21st century, held an evening of ghost stories by the water last night at Brockwell Lido, near Brixton in South London.

We drank mulled wine and ate roast pumpkin by the poolside as Chris, the guy who runs One Eye Grey, told tales of spooky happenings in London's under- and overground rivers. The waist-high Roman Legionnaires haunting walkers on Fleet St, built over the Fleet River, was a favourite.

Nigel of Bermondsey and (some of) his London Dreamtime, including me, provided the musical element of the evening, and a drunk woman asked him if he could "do Elvis".

Here are a couple of pics.
