Ladies Who London Podcast

Fun, informal London history with two
Blue Badge Tourist Guides

Join ladies about town, Blue Badge Tourist Guides and history nerds Alex and Fiona for a relaxed gossip about London’s past and present.


This is how it works: we pick our favourite people, places and events from London’s weird and wonderful history and we break them down and look at why we are still talking about them today. Expect a lot of laughter, a bit of silliness and a spot of gentle learning. A blog post accompanies the podcast each week as well.
