43 · Resource
Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook walk listeners through a tightly focused ‘Hidden London’ tour around Newgate, Smithfield and the remains of St Bartholomew's. They explore concealed layers of urban history: Newgate prison and execution routes to Tyburn, the Pie Corner marker for the Great Fire of London (1666), body‑snatching links with St Bartholomew's Hospital, and the notorious Cock Lane poltergeist.
