    Brilliant. Matt's 'Changing of the Guard' Tour is an unforgettable experience. He's a highly recommended London guide.

    Very interesting! I'll look out for that next time I'm in London.

    It's stuff like this that makes London the greatest city in the world--you could live there 100 years and still find things like this.

      I think you need to travel a bit and visit places like Madrid, Paris and Rome, just to name a few.

      I've done that and personally I just like London most. I can totally understand why people would prefer others places but my personal choice stays London.

      They're just three blocks of stone, so would that even qualify? You might try they're culturally significant.

    No surprise you've posted another VERY interesting video.Am I right in thinking I heard a snippet of Geoff on 6 music talking about the night tube earlier?

    The Iron Duke, bor in Dublin, most sources gloss over that one. Born in a barn, indeed.

    I've never understood why a (straight) man would want to join a club where there's no women. But, hey, that's just me.
