London is constantly on the move. There is so much change all around us that we scarcely notice it, but among the areas that are vanished and forgotten are some of London’s most famous - and infamous - neighbourhoods.
Join Tom Bolton, whose book, Vanished City: London’s Lost Neighbourhoods looks at ten places, which for different reasons, have disappeared from the map. They include the most feared streets in the Western world, London’s first Olympic Park, its Tudor port, and a high society spa resort.
