  • Summary

  • Right at London’s centre is Trafalgar Square, presided over, from his column, by the wounded figure of Admiral Nelson. Running into the Square from the East is The Strand. It has been a thoroughfare since Roman times. Along with the trams and omnibuses, carts and cattle, walked our cast of mad, bad and brilliant thinkers whose ideas and energy helped to build the world we know today. Over the course of this series you will hear from leading writers and academics on London in the Machine Age. But in this first episode you can immerse yourself in the period. You will meet the characters that populate our episodes. Many are flawed, some deeply. Most are consigned to relative obscurity. Yet their work has changed all our lives.
