very detailed and informative.
Description
Presenting The Story of London, a podcast dedicated to telling the history of London as a single narrative tale; from it’s birth until the present day.
Each episode takes us along the tale of the most fascinating and vibrant city on Earth.
The format is every episode is self-contained, while also continuing to the next part in the chronicle. It covers events as they happened, from the actions of the great and the good, down to those of the poor and marginalised. We try to be as historically accurate as possible, sometimes stumbling upon little gems of history that change the way we see the past.
So you can follow the tale from start to finish or just jump in as we tell The Story of London.
