The six very different films range from humorous to highly emotional, from heart warming to the frankly bizarre, including a depiction of Canary Wharf which resembles the Emerald City in the Wizard of Oz, voodoo goddesses who wander the streets of East London casting evil before them as they go, and a tube station that exists beneath the capital, but doesn鈥檛 appear on any map.
