Few people know that beneath the 'pillars of capitalism' of the Bank of England (above) is an ancient Artisan Well or 'spring of wealth'.
Given the state of the economy and levels of corruption in the banking world, it may not be a surprise to learn that the waters of the spring are now totally polluted.
There is a story that if you ask the Bank of England doormen (dressed in pink with top hats) for a glass of water from the spring they have to give it to you. According to the story this is because under the original agreement when the spring was first built over it was stipulated that eternal access to the waters for the general population had to be guaranteed.
I decided to put this to the test and ask for my glass of water from the Bank of England doorman but was informed;
"We can't give it to you because it might kill you, it's all a horrible yellow colour and smells terrible, you would not want to drink it."
Apparently the Bank of England's 'spring of wealth' polluted waters are now being unceremoniously piped to the nearby Walbrook drain (once the Walbrook River) which empties into the Thames.
I followed the trail from the Bank of England down St Stevens Row, and Walbrook road to the Thames.The photos below show what is almost certainly the pipe where the Walbrook and the nation's 'spring of wealth' now empties.
No wonder the nation's economy is going down the drain.
This is terrible Feng shui for the Bank of England. We need to get that spring reinstated and purified.
