Previous Episode: Greyfriars

Laurin and Carla take you on a walk along the river Thames to Butler’s Wharf, South-East London. They talk about the history of the Docklands, the Dockland Museum, their favourite markets in London and the TV series ‘Call the midwife’ which is set in London’s East End. You will also hear why it has become much easier in recent years to eat a Swiss cheese fondue in London.

Question to the vicar: Why does the church always get involved with politics? Does it not have anything else to do?

Music: Die Güldne Sonne, Gael Liardon
Played by Peter Yardley-Jones; recorded by Julian Simmons.
