Isle of Gods

From Discworld & Pratchett Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

The Isle of Gods, considered to be the posh part of town, is located in uptown Ankh-Morpork and is almost encircled by the river Ankh. It connects to the rest of uptown Ankh-Morpork by two streets (Body Street & Salis Street), and to downtown Morpork by four bridges (New Bridge, Brass Bridge, Contract Bridge and Pon's Bridge). The name is possibly a reference to the Isle of Dogs in London. It is cetainly the case that a lot of street names here have a nudge-nudge reference to counterparts in London: Warder Street, So-So Street, etc. The anachronistic nature of having the Dysk next to the Opera House is discussed by the History Monks in Thief of Time.
