* PG Rating * - this episode contains distant shots of \'adult shop\' signs in its final minute (but no nudity or eroticism, thus the iTunes \'clean\' tag).

No filming around the west end of London would be complete without stepping into Soho.

Soho is the district bordered by Oxford Street to the north and Shaftesbury Avenue to the south. It is home to some of the best restaurants, bars and clubs in London. If you want a night of fun and hedonism, Soho will satisfy your every need!

Soho is also the home of many media companies (both print and video production).

Historically, Soho was a rather \'seedy\' area, full of strip joints and prostitution.  In the 1980s  the local government cleared out many such establishments and the gay community moved in to bring a more upmarket (if still hedonistic) sense of style to the area.

This episode starts in Soho Square, a beautiful public space just south of the Tottenham court Road end of Oxford Street. We then head south towards Old Compton Street taking in the sights of the Price Edward Theatre and some beautiful old public houses.

This episode also features a bar called the Admiral Duncan. In 1999, 2 people were killed and more than 30 were injured when a nail bomb - planted by a man intent on killing as many gay people as possible - exploded. Londoners of all walks of life were shocked and many rallied round to get the bar open again - Londoners refuse to be intimated by terrorism in whatever form in takes.

Our episode ends with a view (from a distance) of a small backwater of Soho that still attracts the \'mature straight gentleman\'!

(Piano music from the Apple application Garageband, part of iLife \'08).

London’s legal system follows ancient traditions involving the ‘Inns of Court’. Barristers and Judges, who are lawyers  appointed ‘to the bar’ are members of one of the four Inns - a sort of gentleman’s club (with women these days of course!).

We start outside the Royal Courts of Justice (also known as the Old Bailey) and take a look at the Temple Bar - an ornamental column with a a dragon on top (from the City of London’s coat of arms).

We then make our way to Ede and Ravenscroft, an ancient wig and robe maker for court officials since 1689. As we look in the window we can’t help feeling we could be Harry Potter choosing his Hogwarts robes in Diagon Alley!

Next we enter the Inns of Courts public grounds at Temple, which is named after Templar Church, a home of the Knights Templar. The church (currently being refurbished so I couldn’t enter at this time) ‘starred’ in The DaVinci Code. We’ll head back here another when refurbishment is completed.

The Inns are beautiful buildings in an oasis of peace so close to the Strand, Kingsway, and Fleet Street. Note the names of the people who work in the offices - judges, barristers and lawyers - on name placards listed outside the entrance doors.

This week we make a short visit to 'Chinatown' - a concentration of oriental shops and services between Leicester Square and Shaftesbury Avenue.

The centre of Chinatown is marked by three tall ornate oriental gates sealing off the roads to become a pedestrian area.

Here the delicious smell of Chinese cuisine permeates the air - it's difficult not to feel hungry absorbing those scents even if you've just eaten.

This episode heralds the start of a small re-branding exercise for London Landscape TV. This channel is to be called 'LLTV ONE' on-screen. The primary nature of LLTV ONE is to provide that great high quality series of static scenes that have proved so popular to date.

Not surprisingly, there is now a second channel - LLTV TWO - showing complementary, experimental and innovative content ideal for those who just can't get enough of London! For more details search London Landscape TV 2 on iTunes and go to the LLTV website:

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!
