In this episode, Jen and Mares take a moment to reflect on their journey as podcasters, and take a look back at episodes in their catalogue that both examine and celebrate London over time during the hottest months of the year. For both new listeners and veterans of the community alike, there’s something for everyone this summer in the city. We will highlight:

  • virtual walking tours of past episodes, featuring the East end as sung in “Oranges & Lemons” and a “choose your own adventure” style romp through time and place in London
  • the challenges of summers past, particularly during the plague and blight of the summer of 1858
  • joy expressed through summertime pomp and celebration, with a focus on jubilees of the past as well as the legacy of Pride in the city
  • the vibrancy, innovation, and wonder of the Swinging London summers of the 1960s
  • holiday journeys outside the city, from medieval pilgrimages to Butlin’s Holiday Camps

This episode has it all: bougie soirées, fish mongers, epidemics, sewer systems, Victorian plant manias, Mary Quant, Mr Teezy Weezy, Gay’s the Word bookstore, Billy Butlin and more! These are just some of the people and places that have triggered our curiosity and given us hope as we’ve explored their place and relevance within London history. We couldn’t be happier or more humbled that YOU, the YLT community, have joined us on this ride for the last three years. Cheers to you, and cheers to summer!
