46. Beer, The Bard & Historic Buildings of Bankside

Join tour guides Hazel Baker and Dr Stephen King as they discuss the wonderful history of the area around Borough Market, known as Bankside.

In this episode we discuss beer, brewing, trading and also drinking it. Stephen shares some of his favourite historic pubs with links to literary greats such as Shakespeare and Chaucer. Learn how special effects caused The Globe Theatre to burn to the ground, how Borough's marked history begins with the Romans and the highlights of Southwark Cathedral.

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.
