Waterloo Sunrise: London from the Sixties to Thatcher
Manage episode 334920828 series 2753984
On this week's Mile End Institute Podcast, the MEI's Deputy Director, Dr Colm Murphy, is in conversation with Dr John Davis (Queens, Oxford) about his 'kaleidoscopic' new book, Waterloo Sunrise, which explores how London was transformed into a 'vibrant yet divided metropolis' during the 1960s and 1970s. They discuss how Davis's vivid and immersive book charts everything from Soho strip clubs to London's docklands, the underlying tension between 'majority affluence' and 'minority deprivation' as well as how the key aspects of 'Thatcherism' emerged before the 1980s and continues to shape the Capital today.
