Sometimes it’s good fun to look at the Victorians and explore their crazy inventions and ideas. Just hidden away on Fleet Street, and dealing with an early form of anti-social behaviour, is possibly their greatest invention of the absurd.

Hidden in the thoroughfares of Smithfield it's one of London’s true gems, St Bartholomew’s Church. It's London’s oldest continually used place of worship, built in 1123 during the reign of Henry I. Its walls and cloisters positively ooze a sense of deep history. A place you simply have to visit.

A monument at Segedunum Roman Fort on North Tyneside to the known individuals who built Hadrian’s Wall. The names were gathered from ‘centurial stones’ which record the army units who built the wall. 📸 My own. #RomanSiteSaturday #RomanBritain

In the shadow of the modern London Bridge, nestled in the entrance to St Magnus the Martyr’s Church, lies an incredible relic from London’s ancient past, a piece of the old Roman dock, a heavy beam, which has been here since it was cut in 75AD.

Every time I learn something about the private life of molluscs I end up feeling mildly outraged that I didn't know it before.
Today: Who among you knew that oysters change sex repeatedly across their lifespan and never told me?!

Hidden away behind the bustle of Chancery Lane lies an astonishing area rich in history: Lincoln’s Inn. It has been a home to the legal profession in London since the 14th century and within it is an incredible chapel with a marvellous stone undercroft...

Everyone loves a great door and here in London there are some beauties. Some old and wobbly, some tiny and mysterious, others ornate and grand. In the heart of the city is one of my favourites. It has a series of extraordinary carvings which tell the unique history of the surrounding area.

London has many amazing squares, around 600 in fact, some are regal and splendid, others are jammed with tourists and bars. The one I want to show to you today, is London’s smallest and despite its size, it comes packed with some astonishing history and something probably a lot of people never knew.
