The secret is there is no secret.

Human beings like to search for secrets in exotic locations. The truth may be under your nose. 
A Chamber of Secrets?

There is a library in London (the Guildhall library) that is devoted entirely to London secrets. Appropriately enough, almost nobody knows about it.

You may see this library through the stained glass window. Here I sit, writing my blog surrounded by documents going back to the fifteenth century.

There is much that needs to be known.

Nearby there is the Crosse Keys, a pub that serves a surprisingly cheap breakfast.

I will have good walking shoes and the intention of finding the hidden worlds of London.. Why? I wish to understand power, hidden history and human nature.

Leadenhall market, the Guildhall library and where we meet.
