About this listen

Located between Shoreditch, Hackney and Old Street, sits Columbia Road. You and I might know it best for the flower market and coffee shops, but do some digging and you uncover it's been the stomping ground of refugees, bodysnatchers, Dickens and drag artists.


Join us as we explore the history of the street from the 17th century, right through to today with local legend, Linda Wilkinson.
