Excerpt from Memoirs of the City of London, and Its Celebrities, Vol. 2 of 3

The refectory stands on the south Side of the church, near the end of the south transept, and is immediately connected with the beautiful eastern Cloister, which, with its clustered columns and carved bosses, is now the only one which remains. Beneath the refectory is the ancient crypt, which, notwithstanding the beauty of its architecture, and its rare state of preservation, is but seldom visited and but little known: It is of great length, with a double row of finely proportioned aisles. At the extremity of this gloomy and vaulted crypt is a door, which, according to tradition, Opens into a subterranean passage extending to Canonbury, formerly a rural appendage of the priors of St. Bartholomew, at Islington. Similar idle stories are not unfrequently attached to Old monastic ruins, as in the cases of Malmesbury, Netley, and Glastonbury. That the door in question, however.
