Hello and welcome to my blog

I am interested in London’s history, architecture and its people. It’s the hidden, tucked away places off the main tourist routes that I love to explore. I blog about places I have enjoyed visiting or something I have discovered in my research which I hope will be of interest to others. I also manage the twitter account for Westminster Guides @WminsterGuides.
