Speaker: Geoff Harris
Title: "The London No-one Tells You About"
Details:
Everyone has heard of the great tourist destinations in London. St. Paul’s Cathedral; Westminster Abbey; The Tower: Big Ben. After all Roger Whittaker told us all about them in a song, but how many people tell you about Postman’s Park, the world’s smallest prison or the Bishop of Winchester’s Geese?
The answer to that is hardly anyone. Until now.
Geoffrey Harris’ talk “The London No-one Tells You About” does just that. In a fast-paced, amusing and at times downright funny talk he will shed a light upon some of the lesser-known facts about London, its laws and its strange inhabitants. You will be left wanting to know so much more about human lavatories, coffin-escape devices and one-legged escalator testers that you will just have to go there yourselves.
