You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to enjoy a good conspiracy theory – and, according to Hip-Hop artist turned writer Jonny Virgo, London offers conspiracies on every street and every level. He now leads walking tours into the City of Conspiracy every weekend, offering a glimpse into some of London’s secrets and mysteries. It sounded just my cup of tea, and I signed up for one last weekend.

Cake or conspiracy dilemma resolved, Jonny first led our group to Freemason’s Hall where he talked about the symbolism you can see on the outside of the building. This included the five-pointed star (pictured right) that recurs as an important emblem in various cultures and organisations. In Wicca, of course, it symbolises the five elements of earth, air, fire, water and spirit, but it is a motif with many meanings.

From there, the walk headed past Temple Church, which was once owned by the Knights Templar, and then into the City itself where Jonny talked about modern conspiracy theories involving high finance, politics and sex.
The City of Conspiracy walks last about an hour and a half and you can get discounted tickets through Groupon, I understand. To find out more, go to the City of Conspiracy website, which also offers details about how to book a place.

The walks are suitable for those aged 12 years and older and tours run at the following times: Thursdays 8pm; Fridays 8pm and 10pm; Saturdays 11am, 1pm, 3pm, 5pm, 9pm and Sundays 1pm, 3pm and 6pm.
