I've been leading walking tours around London for nearly 15 years. The City of London, with it's ancient alleyways, is best explored on foot. As are areas like Covent Garden and Soho.It's the only way to see the fine details, to explore the nooks and crannies that even many Londoners don't know.

London's transport network is what allows this extraordinary city to function. The Tube is the oldest underground railway system in the world. So whether it is black cabs, or red buses, or even the cable car, transport in London is always more than just getting from A to B.

From the royal coronation church of Westminster Abbey to St Clement's Eastcheap - the smallest church in the City of London, churches are often our oldest buildings, and our most inspired architecture. Having witnessed great national events and thousands of rites of passage they are the markers of our nation's history.

One of the most haunted cities in the world, it's a slightly dubious claim to fame, but London is populated by ghosts. Let me lead you through dark alleyways and tell you tales to make your hair stand on end.
Or we could head east to Spitalfields and Whitechapel and I'll tell you about five women, united in death, killed by Jack the Ripper.
