An enthralling listen. I am a London Tour Guide, and this material is GOLD. Telling the whole narrative is a vast enterprise. Saul you are to be congratulated on a heroic campaign. An epic. One for the ages I have a question though. I guide at All Hallows by the Tower. Founded 675 AD by Ethelnerga of ESSEX. The Abbey it is beholden to is Barking not Canterbury or London. The date and time do not chime with the Mercia theory...please explain
Nice balance between detailed and accessible, from someone who’s clearly fascinated by our city and it shows. I look forward to every new episode like a little treat for the brain.
Entertaining and well-paced. The host has a British accent and he is very engaging.
Very well researched and presented. Saul makes a complicated story totally accessible to anyone with a love for history.
Fell in love with London last summer when I visited and wanted to know all about it. This podcast is a history buff’s dream. So much detail. I love it. Saul’s voice is very unique and pleasant as well.
