Little Britain

As David Walliams from Little Britain battles valiantly with a nasty case of 'Thames Tummy' to swim the river to raise money for charity, it's interesting to note that Little Britain does actually exist. It's a small side road - alleyway, perhaps - a few minutes' walk from Smithfield Market, Museum of London and Bart's Hospital in the City. Whether or not some of his and Matt Lucas's awful characters also exist in real life, I can't be sure. Let's hope not.
