Since June 15, non-essential shops have been able to reopen and now leisure attractions are starting to open as well. The description notes “there are no residential properties nearby” and the area is frequented during the day. The riverwalk, which leads to the O2, is an open area close to the Thames barrier. The urinals on Eastcheap near Mark Lane are “out of the way” and mainly visited by “city boys”. The crowd is described as a mix of “city suits and building site workers.”
There is an “excellent gloryhole” in the cubicle nearest the urinals that “lets you watch the action at the troughs.” The description said the street between Long Lane and Leathermarket Street are most popular due to their close proximity to parks. Since this area “has fast become the gay man’s proffered choice of living”, the guide suggests it is a pretty good bet for catching a hot stranger’s eye.
