Here's an article about London's Stone from the BBC website. It's a legend I've liked ever since I first came across it. This sort of thing makes me very glad of living in London. The last few comments are also amusing.

Legends of London - Drake's drum beating as the enemy comes up the Thames, the ravens in the Tower, this Stone - I always like to know them. And other stories, about rivers lost and forgotten basements and the city wreathed in mist. The Roman circus under the Bank of England, the body of Boudicca under Kings Cross Station, the vulnerability and the curious toughness.

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner?
