John Betjeman in Cloth Court, London

 
Cloth Fair is a small street in the City of London, and off it is the passage Cloth Court.
A plaque records that John Betjeman once lived here.

'SIR
JOHN
BETJEMAN
1906–1984
Poet Laureate
lived here'

Betjeman loved living here, and fondly remembered the bells ringing from St Bartholomew the Great, the church on the other side of Cloth Fair.
