From whole streets and buildings to pits full of bodies, the London we see today is built on the London which came before, and the things that you can find just below the tarmac will surprise and delight you. Archaeologist and comedian Paul Duncan McGarrity presents a guide to the city like no other.

Paul Duncan McGarrity combines his day-job as a Public Engagement Archaeologist with Museum of London with his performances on the UK comedy circuit. He has gigged in castles, museums and comedy clubs across the country, appeared on The Big Dig on BBC4, and has written for Radio 4. He is also the host of the 'Ask an Archaeologist' podcast.

NB these day-time talks are intended for new parents with babies up to 1 year old, but you can also come if you have no baby, just select 'adult only' ticket.

- Bitey Fox.
  
  By Babbit · Posted 3 hours ago
  
  I’m not sure how many other people have experienced this; but both me and one of my friends have the same story. Around Crawthew Grove and Crystal Palace Road: I was followed by a large fox right on my heel. At first I didn’t notice because I had my headphones on, but then I noticed my shadow had an extra lump in it, funnily enough, it was a fox, very very close to my feet. Even if I sped up walking it just tried to get closer - it was quite frightening actually, it was quite clear that it wanted to nip me. I didn’t know what to do so, I started to reprimand the fox and walked slowly away from it, facing it - which it didn’t seem to like and backed off a bit. I then proceeded to speed-walk away. Quite frankly, the whole situation was quite embarrassing and a little bit frightful as I’d never had a fox even come up to me. I’ve heard of particularly curious foxes that might come up to someone who beckons them, and maybe even bite that person, but I’ve never heard of a fox chasing someone. The amount of confidence that it had was incredible. When it happened, I was on the way to see some friends, and once I had told one of them, she told me the same thing happened to her. if anyone else knows anything about this bitey fox then let me know!

  Another recommendation for Andy. I needed an old kitchen removed as an emergency. Andy came over quickly and did a fantastic job. I have used Andy a few times. He is punctual, helpful and always does an excellent job.
