Monday: YouTube video on London becomes popular thanks to that big sports thing
This YouTube video by C.G.P Grey, The Secret City of London, has felt the benefits of being posted on a week where the whole world was watching London - the host of that event we probably can't name - with over 300 thousand hits in 6 days.
