Walk the dark streets of London in new history special

Dark History of London explores crimes, the occult, disaster and terror in Britain’s capital

While there can be safety in numbers and in community, when a major city emerges it can be the epicentre of all sorts of new challenges. From crime to despotic crackdowns, the streets aren’t always as safe as we might hope.

It’s no different in London, a city that has been at the heart of British life since its founding by the Romans and has been the centre of government for nearly as long. From great plagues to the Tower of London, there has been a darker side to this international city for centuries and our new special, Dark History of London, explores it all.

Uncover terrible tales from the River Thames, what it was like behind bars at Newgate Prison, how London survived the Blitz and much more.
