London Explained: Central District Alliance

In our fourth podcast, we explore the five different neighbourhoods (and their blurred boundaries) contained within the Central District Alliance, stretching from Clerkenwell to Tottenham Court Road.Presenter Dave Hill takes us on a journey through both the history and geography of the area which features a wealth of private and public spaces covering hundreds of years. Religious orders, markets, gin-making, legal practices, gardens, squares, universities, museums, churches, towers and the tech industry all show us how the past, present and future collide in the buildings and landscape of this unique part of London. Debbie Akehusrt and Alexander Jan of the Central District Alliance BID explain how they plan to rethink the area’s economy, consider the challenges of climate change, tackling air pollution and enhancing visitor experience. The podcast is researched, written and presented by Dave Hill, editor and publisher of the website OnLondon.co.uk, and produced by Andrew McGibbon for Curtains for Radio Ltd. It was supported financially by the Central District Alliance with The London Society retaining full editorial control. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
