Don't let the rather twee titles and descriptions of these videos put you off.
I can't quite recall how I stumbled across this extensive list of walking tours of London neighbourhoods and beyond, but I find them enormously cheering.
On a down day, I pick an area of London associated with either my family history or that of the Resident Fan Boy, and usually it's just the ticket. The guide is Julien McDonnell of Joolz Guides. He's from the Muswell Hill area originally, studied philosophy (of all things) in Manchester, and his video walks - usually chatting companionably with his videographer - are charmingly informal, and cover pretty well any area of London you can think of. (He's a pretty snazzy dresser, too.)
Here's a recent one about Putney.
