Elephants surmounting the gateposts to the entrance to St Katharine Dock, in East Smithfield. Ivory was one of the most important commodities unloaded in these docks. This explains the name of Ivory House which is still standing by this dock. (exploringeastlondon.co.uk)

Now it has been cleaned up the gate post looks a lot more stylish.

Taken in my garden, it allowed me to get within a few feet of it & didn't mind the camera one bit!

ok, so its a gate post, but it still was climbing around on it. I thought I'd got a picture sorted, then this large spider seemed to want in, at almost the 11th hour!
