As night falls, the lights of London bathe the city in an electric glow. Williams meets photographer Timo Lieber for a helicopter ride around the city to capture more stunning aerial shots of the city to add to Lieber’s collection.

Concluding his tour of London, Williams heads to one of the city’s most exclusive clubs, Tape. Accompanied by Diving Olympic gold medallist Chris Mears, and record producer Dallas Austin, Williams celebrates this special city with the people who love to live, work and party there.
