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.

  1. The Birth of the London Square

    24 FEB.

    The Birth of the London Square

    Come with us as we dig into the origins of London's most distinctive feature: the residential square. We'll stroll in our first public park, gaze meditatively out of some drawing room windows, trip over rotten vegetables, and dodge duellists.

    SideStreets S3E10 - The Damp Darkness of Paris Gardens

    This month, we wade and scramble from the Swan Theatre, where Queen Elizabeth I was dangerously satirized, to Holland's Leaguer, where her successor James I went for a disreputable good time. Then we speculate a bit about what happened to all these edgy amusements. Visit Our Website: https://www.sidestreets.co.uk/ Support Us on Patreon: patreon.com/user?u=84135705
