How many buns make 5?

Another very long day of work in London for me (Chris). It was also a day of great sadness as one of our extended team sadly passed away overnight. Despite several months of illness, it was still a great shock to all of us.

A fair few of these benches have already appeared on Blip. They are currently spread across London, some in more obvious and accessible locations than others. This one is close to Southwark Cathedral but facing the river so not that obvious. So why the title? When I was growing up we had cassette tapes of Michael Bond's Paddington Bear stories. One of my favourites featured this line where Paddington is on a quiz show and is asked "how many buns make 5?". The answer he gives is 2 and a half - but you'll have to look the story up to find out why.
