We view the City’s oldest church which has featured in numerous films, London’s oldest hospital on its original site, a former underground railway, execution sites , a statue of our most famous king and buildings which pre-date the Great Fire of London. Discover the house of a poet, a watch house, a church with a sinister secret plus the many fascinating tales surrounding  the Old Bailey and the notorious Newgate Prison which formerly stood on the courthouse site.
