Two men stand in front of London landmarks and street signs with the text "The Secret Life of London with Jonnie Fielding & Johno Verity" above them.


Every corner of London has a story to tell. Through early-morning bike rides, long walks and years spent uncovering the city’s lesser-known past, Johno Verity and Jonnie Fielding (@bowlofchalk) have become two of its most engaging modern-day explorers. Together, these story archaeologists dig deeper to reveal the forgotten people, secret places and remarkable histories hiding in plain sight. They will be in conversation to discuss some of their favourite London stories and their endless fascination with one of the world’s greatest cities
