Oh, I think I've seen that safe! Although it was standing upside down when I saw it. No jewels in it then either.

The moon!
It's Thursday night and I'm dancing around the moon at the Museum of London Docklands, but I'm thinking about 25 years ago when on a Thursday night, I would have been dancing at the Dungeon.

Dials, many dials
A corridor with some pipes and red and white checked flooring.
I played London tourist and jumped aboard the HMS Belfast. A vat of fake peas, many dials, ladders to climb.

Tonight, a walk in the dark, and I've listened to the River Ravensbourne trickling and the trees rustling, and stood with one foot either side of the Meridian line.

Wandering around Peckham in the rain with a cardboard box on my wrist, listening to gates, manhole covers, walls, drainpipes, plants, after going to a Peckham Digital - Festival of Creative Computing workshop and assembling a "Surface Reader".

A pottery sherd with an eye and a nose on it, from a Bellarmine jug. A blue eye that is maybe a stone. A pink eye. (Please note, you need a permit to search or mudlark on the Thames foreshore.)
Three eyes I recently found on the Thames foreshore:
1. An eye from a bearded man on a Bartmann jug (16th or 17th century stoneware)
2. A pink eye, probably from a toy.
3. A mysterious blue eye, which could be a stone.

A worn metal rectangular thing with "N P Brown" and "Prime" written on it. There are some tiny words under Prime that could say Johnson but they are difficult to make out.
A rusty metal tag that says 51 on it.
A mysterious metal object I found on the Thames foreshore, with "N P Brown" and "Prime" written on one side and "51" on the other. A token of some kind? What do people think? #mudlarking

I was there earlier too! But probably left before you got there. Seems I missed many people there by going early.

Thank you! I suspect when it was functional, you could press it and Old Father Thames would jump out from the river to greet you.
