• The Development of London's Neighbourhoods - this is a mini history of London from the Romans to the current day looking at how the distinctive neighbourhoods came about and the impact on their diverse architecture.
• The Design and Building of St Paul's Cathedral - looking at the history and creation of this wonderful building with some of the most important things to see inside.
• Tales from the Tower of London - the history of its construction and stories of political prisoners, daring escapes, royal executions, the ravens, Crown Jewels etc.

• Shakespeare’s London - travel back 400 years to see how London influenced his plays, what theatre was like then (and how do we know), as well as Shakespeare's legacy on theatre and language.
• Street Art in Shoreditch -  Shoreditch in East London is one of the most famous centres for street art in the world. A vast open air gallery where artists from around the world want to come and make their mark.
