The diamondgeezer site is one my favourites along with ianvisits.co.uk and londonreconnections.com - there's all sorts of content on there about the absolutely most 'niche' things you can think of in London. And then you find out about things like the Pocket Parks, what's on in London, mudlarking, and so on. Odd things like the Cannon St. to Mansion House tube run, and then a parkour version to Barbican https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXMPRK2LQAE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXMPRK2LQAE Too many to list.

Looks like Farringdon that they end up at. Amazing video either way, thanks.

Sadly there’s cuts in that video and bits where they run that make no sense. (Barbican resident)

I doubt I'll ever make it to London, but on YouTube I subscribe to J. Draper, who is a tour guide and historian. Her recent video on railings in London is vastly more interesting than one might suspect. https://youtu.be/JHvKvOUSor4 https://youtu.be/JHvKvOUSor4

The Moorgate to Farringdon parkour run video is fake. There are some weird cuts but the video description says "It's fake btw" ;D
