SideStreets S2E6 - Londinium: city of empire

SideStreets is a podcast about the history and geography of London. SideStreets will not attempt a narrative history of London. It will instead focus on out-of-the-way places, little-known people, and good stories. It will use them, I hope, to illustrate important patterns and principles in that history and maybe even in the history of all cities.Enjoy extra exclusive additions to the regular episodes by supporting us on <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://patreon.com/user?u=84135705&amp;utm_medium=clipboard_copy&amp;utm_source=copyLink&amp;utm_campaign=creatorshare_fan&amp;utm_content=join_link">Patreon</a>.
