Thomas Guy, who gave buckets of money for the establishment of Guy's Hospital, made his fortune from investments in the South Sea Company, which was heavily involved in the slave trade. His sculpture was surrounded by hoardings when I was there in autumn 2022. The hoardings have since come down for restoration to the sculpture and a plaque explaining his slave trade connection has been put up.

Dickens Walk in Southwark. www.walksoflondon.co.uk/31/index.shtml The old London Bridge had several of these niches along it, and young David Copperfield often took shelter in them. The niche dates from 1176; it was purchased by Guy's Hospital for 10 guineas and installed in this courtyard in 1861. The bronze statue is of the poet John Keats, who trained at Guy's as a surgeon-apothecary from 1815 to 1816. See where this picture was taken. [?]
