I’ve written several times in recent years on the green nature of London and even how it is the worlds first National Park City. I have a best-selling book in the shape of Secret Gardens of the City of London as well as various tours on those same gardens, canals, rivers and woods. Earlier this… Continue reading Following a fox around St Pauls Cathedral

The Festival of Bells 2021
