London calling. London Walks connecting. This… is London. This is London Walks. Streets ahead. Story time. History time. A very good morning to you, London Walkers. Wherever you are. It’s Tuesday, March 3rd, 2026. And he
Following on from yesterday's podcast about the London place-name "Bayswater", David opens up another front on that field of action: the ancient (it's Anglo-Saxon) place-name suffix "ee" (or "ea" or "ey"). TRANSCRIPT Lon
London place-names can often unlock the DNA of a neighbourhood or district. They're an x-ray of the past. Bayswater is a perfect case in point. David "guides" the name Bayswater in this podcast.
This one's the result of a happy accident. I (David) was doing my Hampstead Walk a couple of Sunday mornings ago and up ahead an artist had set up his easel and was "rapt" (Shakespeare's word). He was in what I later dis
Up in Hampstead, Memorial Day comes 52 times a year for David. TRANSCRIPT London calling. David here. Today’s Memorial Day in the United States so I thought I’d do a personal – a David, a London-based, a from London Memo
David on tourists' London as opposed to Londoners' London. AKA how to read the London room. Transcript London calling. David here. Somewhere in Shakespeare there’s a scene – this is from memory, alas, I haven’t been able
A David gallimaufry TRANSCRIPT London calling. David here. Another gallimaufry tonight. Thought I’d start with an addendum to yesterday’s podcast, which was mostly about the British slave trade and in particular my surpr
David in a reflective mood. This one ranges over the slave trade, the three wise men, the gobsmacking stuff he (David) is finding out about London and some notable Londoners from a book he's reading that's, well, enthral
This is a slice of the pie from David's Hampstead & Hampstead Heath Virtual Tour. The pole star of David's guiding is a remark by John Constable: "we see nothing till we truly understand it." So in this excerpt, you find
David takes a close look at the man behind the name Downing Street. And my goodness, look what he's found. It's like turning over a stone and finding some deeply unpleasant stuff crawling around underneath it. Deeply unp
This is the start of David's Sights & Secrets of Kensington Virtual Tour. For the record, it's very similar to how his shoe- leather-on-pavement walking tour of Kensington opens. MONEY QUOTE "London specialises in hiding
This is Part II of the route David would take for a feast of a London journey from the Abbey Road Studios (where Richard P.'s Beatles walks end) to Baker Street Station. A car-free journey of discovery and hidden places
This is very prescriptive. It's David out walking and talking, walking the route he'd recommend if, at the end of the Beatles walk, you don't want to take the Tube back into central London. It's very detailed, very exact
Very simple, really. This podcast began life as an email David sent to a walker who rang up to say she and three friends were going on his Kensington Walk and could we recommend a place where they could get a bite to eat
Hornets is my favourite tiny shop in London. It's extremely high-quality, "previously owned" menswear – Savile Row, Jermyn Street, you get the idea. You'll find it – we find it on my Kensington Walk* – down a tiny, secre
Subtitle: Two very old photographs and an ancient place name – David gets back. A rumination about how London changes. And how our understanding and appreciation of it changes. Narrowing the focus, it's about Kensington.
This podcast is an out-take from David's Hampstead & Hampstead Heath Virtual Tour. It's got "a wider range" than any other podcast we've done so far. From Hampstead to Italy to Germany to the Alps to Java to Niagara Fall
Exactly what it says on the tin TRANSCRIPT London Calling. David here. Ok, this one’s fairly personal. Personal. And angry. So you’ve been warned. Switch off now – proceed no further – if you’d rather not go where I’m go
For the anniversary of Charles Dickens' birth, David does a pull-together. It's a tale of two manuscript finds, of the Battle of Arnhem, of favourite professors, of a couple of virtual tours, of Harvard and London Univer
David's been diving again. Diving for pearls in London lagoons nobody else knows about. And sure enough, he scored. Found twenty-five of them. Brought them up. And here they are. Never been seen before. Ok, that's a fanc
