A large granite boulder in a muddy patch of park. In the distance is a Georgian terrace and two tower blocks. A crow perches on top of the boulder.

I’m guessing that Shoreditch Park is where a stray finger of the last ice sheet to retreat once prodded down into N1, having pushed this lump of granite all the way from what is now Aberdeen. There seems little other explanation.
