This month the London Walks Podcast turns its focus on Westminster and political London. Andy and Adam take a wander among the statues in Parliament Square and we hear from Kim who leads the Political London Walk. A House of Commons insider, Kim's Political London Walk always takes place just after an election – which means that the content and the route are only decided at the last minute. Kim gives us a few insights into her process.

In the early 21st century we exist in a relatively peaceful period in the history of the British monarchy. Weddings, anniversaries and a new baby have all contributed to a national mood of affection toward the Windsors.
Things weren’t ever thus.
Our London Walks Podcast this month deals with the Royal Family from a number of “recent” perspectives and periods, not all of them obedient and loyal; the controversial inter-war years, scandalous behaviour in the Victorian era, a royal fashion show and a couple of (respectful!) royal jokes thrown in.
