Episode 1 - A campus tour
In this episode we explore the fascinating past of Commercial Road. How it all started, what kind of people som spent their time here and why the street played such an important function for London’s expansion eastwards. We also take a closer look at the building where I work and teach today, a building which has hosted beer production, whisky brewing and much more… Oh and have you heard about fatbergs???
