If you've been wondering what on earth has been happening about the lack of London Landscape TV episodes recently, you're not alone. For all good work reasons, my job has been madly busy over the last few months and it's not about to let up anytime soon. Whilst I have been into central London as part of my work, I've never really been able to get out my big'n'gorgeous Sony HDV camera to do some proper filming. Fortunately my job as head of R&D at Tesco.com (the online arm of the UK's biggest food retailer) has involved amassing video evidence as I conduct projects and to help make this happen I've acquired a small Sony HDR-TG3 palm HD camcorder that takes stunning HD 1080 video footage, recorded straight onto memory-stick (no moving parts). Recently I was giving a speech in the heart of the old city of London close to the Bank of England, and I was determined to take the new camera on a field-trip on behalf of London Landscape TV viewers. I hope you enjoy the result and, as a result of using this new camcorder for work, I will be delighted to bring you great film of London whenever I am at its heart - which is regularly. Here is some great film of some of the most amazing buildings in London filmed on the Sony TG3 - and don't forget I was in a dapper suit and tie for the whole session!

It's been nearly three months since the last episode of LLTV - mainly caused by me need to focus on my day job as Head of R&D at the online service of UK supermarket Tesco. However August has arrived and the crescendo has passed (at least for now) so once again I have indulged my creative side and enjoyed lunchtime on Friday 7th August at Borough Market. The market is located on the South Bank of the Thames adjacent to Southwark Cathedral and London Bridge station, nestling under a large set of metal and brick railway arches with trains rolling above. All kinds of food from nearly every culture are served here, so its great to enjoy the market on an empty stomach and follow your nose to the best cooking scents. The market is a riot of colour too, and is completed with amusing written quotes printed on hanging signs attached to the underside of the railway girders. An unmissable experience!

We reach the concluding episode of the Summer In The City 2007 journey, where we visit the BBC World Service's HQ at Bush House, also Australia House, go to church and end up at the pub!

The episode starts by looking back at Covent Garden and then walks past a couple of theatres holding major productions such as Lord Of The Rings.

The walk then takes us to Aldwych where we find the magnificent Bush House, home of the BBC World Service.

We then take a look at Australia House before entering St. Clements Church, spiritual home of the military Royal Air Force.  At midday we hear the bells playing the nursery rhyme 'Oranges and Lemons'  - see the website http://www.rhymes.org.uk/oranges_and_lemons.htm which shows the lyrics that mentions this church.

After this church visit it's time to go over the road to that age old British institution for some very different spirits, the public house (or 'pub'). The George has been around for hundreds of years and is a great place to finally rest our legs after that long journey.

I hope you enjoyed Summer In The City 2007 - normal content programming from London Landscape TV resumes from next week. 

This is London Landscape TV's short welcome video to introduce new viewers to this video podcast. It's also called 'The people of London in the city they love' as it shows Londoners and city guests enjoying themselves in the capital.

So if you are new to London Landscape TV, start here by taking 40 seconds out to get yourself introduced to your HD video window on one of the world's greatest capital cities.

Our journey takes from Leicester Square (whose underground station we see in the distance in the opening shot) and make our way to Covent Garden's piazza, passing a couple of interesting inns on the way.

The piazza itself was originally used as London's wholesale food and flowers market (now moved further down the river to Vauxhall) but all the buildings still stand to create a fantastic mix of restaurants, food shops, and public bars.

Covent Garden piazza is also famous for its street entertainers who must go through a 'battle of talent' in order to be awarded a coveted 'street entertainer's licence'. Only the best make it, so you are promised a great street show when you go and watch.

The Summer In The City journey is coming to an end. Look out for next Friday's concluding episode, after which LLTV returns to showing you every part of London!

London continues to suffer from a jet-stream of rain that is watering the whole of the UK, so I ran out of time to bring you fresh pictures of the UK's capital. Instead I offer you some of the best from my archive of footage over the last four months.

Yes I was dressed in my cycling gear in the hope of bringing you some new footage but the rain prevailed, alas. This explains my on-screen excuses at the start of this episode.

Fresh film of London next week, I promise!

As the Summer In The City 2007 journey continues, we step 100 metres east from Piccadilly Circus to one of the world's most famous squares.

Leicester Square is at the heart of London's West End - a district dedicated to the best food, drink, entertainment, theatre, cinema, and night-club experiences.

In this visit we "people-watch", checking out what the visitors to the square are doing. We also see what's on at the massive cinema billboards around the square, the home of the Odeon Leicester Square and Empire Leicester Square theatres used for most movie premieres.

If you're looking for a feast of entertainment in London, this square is the place to start!

Technical note:
Would you look at that picture quality! The wide-angle lens uses in previous episodes of the Summer.. journey has been... well... "archived".
