THE LAND ROVERS: A HISTORY HUNTING PODCAST


DIGGING DEEPER
Episode 9. Secret London with Tim the London Walker.


In this very special episode, George and Paul lace up their boots and hit London's ancient streets with special guest Tim Lewis - better known as Tim the London Walker. Filmmaker, storyteller, lover of the secret, quirky and unusual, Tim takes the boys on a fascinating journey through the Capital, where history hides behind every corner.


From the gleaming heights of The Shard to the ghostly remains of the Roman Walls, the trio explore the breathtaking juxtaposition of old and new that defines London's skyline and soul.


Along the way they uncover mysteries at the Mithreum, stroll through the mighty arches of Leadenhall Market and take Shakespeare's commute.

They stand on cobbles once trodden by Emperors, Kings, traders and slaves alike.


For George and Paul it's a far cry from the quiet Suffolk lanes and pubs, but for Tim, it's home, and luckily for the boys he's an A to Z and an encyclopedia all rolled into one.


Grab your headphones and a cold one, and get ready to walk the hidden veins of the City like never before.
