"Kentish Building", seen here bedecked with hanging baskets, is the residential component of the 'London Bridge Hostel' belonging to the St Christopher's Inns hostel chain. The hostel's Reception address is reported as being 161, Borough High Street. In fact the High Street (i.e. the A3) is through the archway ahead. A wall plaque affixed in the archway describes the premises on either side of the archway as "The Grapes Inn - A Protected Building. This is the site of the C16th St Christopher Inn, where passengers gathered prior to taking the Stage Coach to Dover"
