London is a city that refuses to sit still. It has forever been a busy bustling place, a great restless organism, never ceasing its endless invention. None more so than the Street Art in Shoreditch and London’s East End.

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.
