When we think of London we all have the same big tourist attractions in mind: Trafalgar Square, The Houses of Parliament, Tower Bridge, but there is more, so much more.
Where can you go to see the weeping statue? Just how did the Theatre Royal Haymarket get its Royal Warrant, and why is Ben Jonson's tomb so small? What did Bumper Harris have to do with the development of escalators in the city?
All these questions and so many more are answered in this informative and very funny talk. You will look at this wonderful city in a completely new light.
