About this episode

Forget powdered wigs, elegant tea rooms, and refined manners. Life in 1700s London meant overcrowded streets, constant noise, foul smells, disease, poverty, and fragile hopes of survival. Behind the growing wealth of the city were exhaustion, inequality, crime, and quiet endurance that rarely make it into romantic stories. A calm history of an uncalm city, lived day by day by ordinary people. Boring history for sleep – Soft stories about difficult lives.
