The Story of London
Welcome to The Story of London, a podcast dedicated to telling the history of London as a single narrative tale; from its birth until the present day.
Each episode takes us along the tale of the most fascinating and vibrant city on Earth.
There is a lot of content in here and each listener can enjoy it in a variety of ways. You can listen to an episode by itself for a slice of life from London’s past; or, if you have a favourite period of time you want to explore, find the era and follow the Chapters in that section.
Or maybe you want to join us on the grand journey, starting at the beginning and following along? Whatever option, welcome to the chronological tale of this amazing place.
The Story of London 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, and never take ourselves too seriously.
Feel free to join us… new episodes every week.
