Every-so-often I will be rolling out a new style of episode called Meander Mile, where I take you on a guided walk through a single street in London; I'll show you streets and murder cases you're already familiar with and others as yet untold.

Over the next three weeks we'll be focussing on three roads we've visited many times before on Murder Mile which go right through Soho and intersect with Old Compton Street.

This week's episode focuses on Frith Street.
