A summer evening stroll capturing London street scenes between Moorgate and the West End in this walking tour video. Walking in London is one of the great joys of the city. We start crossing London Wall then pass down Coleman Street cross Guildhall Yard to Gresham Street. Little Britain takes us across Smithfield as we see London city life moving around us as we walk. Strolling down Shoe Lane we pass through Gunpowder Court to Dr Johnson's House in Gough Square. Fleet Street takes this London walk past Clifford's Inn and Carey Street to the London School of Economics. Traversing Aldwych we walk through Covent Garden to Chinatown and end on Shaftesbury Avenue.
