Leisured City - an Audio Walking Tour of The West End

Historicity is a brilliant new series of audio walking tours which explore how cities got to be the way they are - starting with London. This episode - Leisured City - covers the transformation of the West End, as wealth is invested, hierarchy reproduced, and luxury consumed, in its streets and square…More about the series:Most existing tours either explore particular themes in a city’s history (like crime) or use the city as a stage for other stories (like works of literature and art). Historicity focuses instead on the city itself, weaving its stories together with its connections to the world beyond, and so explaining why we see what we do. Recorded on location and delivered as a podcast, each walk is designed to be followed in real time, at the listeners' own pace.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
