  • London - The Plague
    Mar 31 2025

    In the second episode of our London miniseries, James takes us back to 1665, when the Great Plague of London ravaged the city. With streets lined with plague doctors, houses marked with ominous red crosses, and a desperate government struggling to contain the outbreak, this was one of London's darkest times.

    James uncovers how the plague spread, how Londoners endured months of quarantine, and the eerie similarities between 17th-century lockdowns and the COVID-19 pandemic. From mass graves to ineffective cures, we explore how the city battled one of the worst health crises in history—and the lessons it still holds today.
