Tired of the same old tales of so called “Hidden London”? Then hop onboard the Routemaster of London knowledge, destination ‘digging deeper!

Join your driver and conductor team of ‘Ade & Ade Bloke’ as we pootle around town, picking up knowledge nuggets along the way. They’ll be no tourist stops on this route, just posts that I’ve written after doing “deep dive research”. I’ve looked lovingly into my little London library, whilst scouring and searching sincerely significant sources in an attempt to provide you with narratives not often found in ‘run of the mill’ blogs and books etc. Hope you enjoy the trip!
