Episode description
Join London tour guides Hazel Baker and Ian McDiarmid as they discuss London's Coffeehouses how they enables the financial revolution in the 18th century.
Find out where Londoners get their bowls of coffee from a history-making entrepreneur.
Hear how the Bank of England, the Stock Exchange and the Royal Exchange began.
Find out how we get the phrase to hear a pin drop and where you would have needed to go to sample London's best cherry brandy and sandwiches.
Learn things about London that most Londoners don't even know in a 20 minute espresso shot episode of London history with a splash of personality. There's so much we can't fit into our tours, no matter how hard we try. This London history podcast is where we can get down and dirty with the detail! You're not going to find this level of detail in any guidebook.
Let us know if there's a particular person, event or place you want to know more about in our podcast.
