Listen Later


This episode takes us to the Spitalfields neighborhood of London.
He will explore a most unusual house nearly 300 years old.
Will think about…

  • a young 18-year-old who shows up in London in the Swinging 60s
  • and eccentric young man who dreamed big and made his dreams come true
  • how a place marks person, and how people mark the places they  call home

While in Spitalfields, will meet the Huguenots, and put another piece of the London immigrant puzzle together.

More than ever you’ll want to see the photographs in our show notes here.
