Streets of London episodes:

November 25, 2022 Short Cuts - The London Underground
It's dark, it's dank and it bores the heart of London like the holes in a Jarlsberg cheese. The Tube. Ol' Stink. Blind Man's Guff. Known by many names and none of them nice, The London Underground is not a place you'll find a cabby. But Ray is ready to grit his teeth and take you there, because that's today's destination. And that's what cabbies do.

October 16, 2022 Short Cuts - The London Eye
Welcome to Season 2 of Streets of London with me Ray Black, and our slick, new Short Cuts format.
Need to get to your London destination quicker? Well you've come to the right place. I'm Ray Black, and I know the short cut.
It's cleaner too - Mrs B has made us leave out the swearing, for the children.
Anyway, if you've ever asked yourself what colour eyes London has, then you're not alone. It turns out, like Kim Cattrall in Big Trouble in Little China, her eyes are green. But unlike Kim Cattrall in Big Trouble in Little China, London's are green in the environmental sense. And she's only got one: The London Eye.
Listen to this episode to find out why.
Told you we'd get there quicker.

Scotland Yard. Where Sherlock Holmes cracked cases and DCI Burnside cracked nuts: it's the famous epicentre of British crimefighting. But does it house a secret? Yes. Join me, Ray Black, as we peer through the magnifying glass and sniff that secret out.

December 22, 2020 Tower Bridge
Tower Bridge is probably the most misunderstood bridge in London. How was it built? Why was it built? Where was it built? It was built in London. Join me, Ray Black, as we answer two more of those questions. Or maybe just one.

December 08, 2020 Buckingham Palace
Like most London addresses, Buckingham Palace has had its fair share of larger-than-life occupants. Join me, Ray Black, as we take a peek behind Her Majesty's curtains at some rather fruity previous occupants. God save Her.

December 03, 2020 The Shard
"A shard it is to trouble the mind's eye." Shakespeare never said this, I did, and I'm Ray Black. Then again, Shakespeare never actually saw the Shard, so we'll never know for sure.
