In the first of two episodes about Soho Square, we look at some extraordinary characters: an Admiral who wrecked an entire fleet, an adventuress who invented the night club, and a botanist who brought the whole world to the West End.

Soho Square: a city in miniature (part 2)

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 Patreon.
