Everyone knows Christopher Wren as the genius behind St Paul’s Cathedral—but that’s just the tip of the spire.

Before he became Britain’s most celebrated architect, Wren was gazing at the stars as an astronomer, probing storms as a meteorologist, and dissecting bodies in his obsession with anatomy. He was a scientist, a visionary, and a master of reinvention. And while his dome still defines the London skyline, few realise he also ran the country’s largest architectural office—navigating egos, politics, and six royal reigns with remarkable finesse.

He was the first architect in history to see a cathedral through from the first sketch to the final stone. But here’s the twist: he also found the mouse. The question is… did he ever find the cat?

Join Keith as he unpacks the dazzling, complex life of Christopher Wren with special guest Professor Adrian Tinniswood, author of His Invention So Fertile. It's a journey through ambition, innovation, and secrets history forgot to tell.
