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?
Come with me to find out and long the way we also meet Charles Dickens - don't we always?! -, Sweeney Todd, Christopher Hatton and Hodge the cat among 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...
