Bowden's is closing down soon; likely within the next few weeks.

I believe that there is a defibrillator here, on the wall near to the covered bicycle parking that is already mapped.

I took a photo but didn't include much of the surroundings and this is a medical feature so I'm hesitant about adding it without it being checked/confirmed first.

NB: there is a seamark building function of 'time_ball' that could be more-relevant/precise for the timeball on Flamsteed House than the current value of 'observation'.

I think a seamark building type of 'observation' might indicate a place that the sea is observed _from_, while vice-versa a timeball is observed from the sea.

Maybe sea observations do take place from Flamsteed House? But the time ball itself I think is primarily a visual signal for seafarers.

There are some toilets within the open-facing south-west corner of the building here.

The segregated cycleway here is drawn as starting west of Waverley Bridge, and it's not connected to the bridge, so it's not possible to join it when turning right from the bridge, is this correct?

I think up to the junction with the bridge it's just paint?

Need to check #surveyme

The Spurtle reports:
"The charity Outer Spaces has taken a
temporary lease on the vacant Cube office
building at 45 Leith St, allowing artists to operate
studios and project-spaces here for free."
Does this mean BHF is gone? Need to check and add to map #surveyme

La Garrique has gone into administration/liquidation, according to a note posted in the window, and is closed. I'd like to re-read the OSM guidelines about how to indicate that a business is closed before making any changes to it; if anyone reading this knows that already and wants to update it themselves, please go ahead.

There is a defibrillator located here inside a yellow casing, wall-mounted to the building to the right of the Saint John's Scotland building and garden, when you approach those from the opposite side of Saint John's Street.

It is outside of the garden/fenced area. I plan to map it soon, and would like to confirm some details from the recommended tag keys on the OSM wiki first.

I may attempt to photolink this too; I have an existing WikiPedia account, so perhaps Commons is the way to go, if such a photo would be within policy there.
