Highlights include:

• The London ballroom turned into a Venetian canal
• Britain's only street where cars drive on the right

• The corpses of left luggage
• Britain's smallest police station

"A fascinating, humorous and unique look at parts of London I thought I knew so well. A thoroughly enjoyable afternoon I would recommend to locals and tourists alike."
