For a tour guide this type of walk - alleyways, squares and bits in between! - is one of the most joyous of all to research because you learn so much about what nearly everyone will miss..........................
Was Cromwell's exhumed body dumped in a square in Holborn? What was Leather Lane? Why is Bleeding Heart Yard so called? Or Wine Office Court? Where did Doctor Johnson live? Where was Disraeli baptised? Why is there a tree inside a pub? And who exactly were the Mendicity Society?
Come with me to find out and along the way we also meet Charles Dickens - don't we always?! -, Sweeney Todd, Samuel Johnson & cat, Oliver Goldsmith, Christopher Hatton and a host of others......
London is full of squares and alleys and little pockets of unexplored history and quirkiness and here we will discover some of them.
A great walk around the hidden parts of the City - a city you may not have realised existed...
