Series three comes to an end, appropriately, in the very heart of London. Piccadilly Circus is a bustling hub, the connective tissue that links grubby Soho to Buckingham Palace. And who better to show us around than Adam Buxton, a man who - like the statue of Eros - is known and loved by all.

Editor Joe and Adam negotiate crowds of tourists while analysing the psychological ramifications of posh school, lechy themed restaurants and the legacy of the Trocadero.

Adam’s debut album Buckle Up is right there ready to be streamed. And you can read all about his book I Love You, Byeee (and buy it) on his website.

Ah, Fulham. A mystery, an enigma, a part of London maybe you haven’t thought about for a little while. Well, let stand-up comedian and online sensation Daniel Foxx take you (and editor Joe) by the hand on a guided tour of the leafy Thames-side idyll. On the way they discuss the concept of conversion therapy dogs, techniques used by slightly rude waiters and the gay community’s problem with Avatar.

Daniel’s 2026 tour How Lovely is going all the way across the UK. Find out more and book tickets right here.

Editor Joe loves Finsbury park, and so does this week’s guest, comedian Vittorio Angelone. The Northern Irish stand-up and podcaster takes us on a twilight journey through north-east London, discussing sandwiches, Guinness fetishism, bad comedy and good wigs on the way.

You can catch Vittorio all through 2026, touring his new special You Can’t Say Nothing Anymore (which sold out at this year’s Edinburgh Fringe) right across the UK. Check out dates and get tickets on his website. You can also stay abreast of Vittorio’s future plans on Instagram.

An area with tons of history gets exactly what it deserves: an actual historian as a guest. Ella Al-Shamahi is in fact many things: TV presenter, paleoanthropologist, explorer, stand-up comedian and author. She’s also excellent company, as editor Joe finds out on their wander around King’s Cross, taking in predatory library pick-up artists, obscure hand gestures, humanity’s need for booze and a certain bright pink sports car.

Ella is going on tour with her show Becoming Human throughout all of 2026. Find out when her undefinable science-y, historical comedy show is coming to a town near you. And keep up to date with Ella’s comings and goings on Instagram.

Editor Joe is in the presence of culinary and televisual greatness this week, as Masterchef’s Monica Galetti gives us a tour of her favourite bit of central London. Basque cheesecake, blue cheese, artisanal miso and powerfully corrosive acid are all discussed, as is Monica’s memories of first arriving in the capital and her childhood on the idyllic island of Upola. What will the unforgiving judge make of Joe’s inability to shut up about executions and hangings? You’ll have to listen to find out.

For two years Monica has been working with lunch-time sushi specialists Itsu to make their ‘noodle and broth’ pots as flavoursome as they possibly can be. Follow Monica on Instagram and find out more about the collaboration.

A modern broadcast legend, Clara Amfo has been on air, chatting to the nation for most of her adult life. This episode, recorded on the mean streets of E5, is a veritable showcase for her easy, breezy London charm. Join Clara and editor Joe as they bowl around that bit of Hackney that isn’t quite Walthamstow, discussing everything from AI music, to sneaking into films and the perils of ‘being a streaming whore’.

We’re out west with one of Britain’s most enduring, most alluring popstars of the last 25 years. The District line-obsessed Sophie Ellis-Bextor shows a queasy editor Joe around her ends, aka Chiswick. Join the pair for a Thames-side stroll, featuring such diversions as London’s scariest underpasses, running club romances and knowing what takeaway to order when your family has seven people in it.

Follow Sophie on Instagram. Her new album Perimenopop is out now.

Is ‘Gray’s Inn’ even a neighbourhood, technically? We’re saying yes. Come with food critic, TV presenter and author extraordinaire Jimi Famurewa, as he shows editor Joe around that bit between King’s Cross and Holborn. The art of banh mi, pornographic cinemas and pub connoisseurship are all discussed by the Masterchef veteran.

Sad update: in the weeks since this episode was recorded, Malletti on Clerkenwell Road has tragically closed.

Follow Jimi on Instagram. Check out his book Picky (‘a culinary journey like no other’) here.
