Given its strategic location on the River Thames London has been at the centre of British life since Roman times.
Over 2,000 years, there are bound to be numerous stories of intrigue and many secrets. We look at some of these secrets, including: A statue older than Cleopatra's Needle - A little bit of Texas in the centre of London - Mrs Coade's secret - The 'body railway‘ - The site where the cause of cholera was discovered, etc.
With each 'secret' we explore and learn a little bit more about the hidden world of our greatest city.

Upon leaving Kodak I took a teaching qualification and taught management subjects within the NHS and at the local further education college.
After teaching I decided to combine two passions, lecturing and Whitefriars Glass, so I carried out in depth research into the history of the Company and developed a series of talks/lectures enabling me to share my knowledge with any interested groups and societies.
I have since expanded my range of talks to include, Secret London, The Occupations of Victorian Britain and The Livery Companies of London, History of the Postal Services and other mainly history related topics.
