Limehouse Nights

Today we unearth a hidden corner of London as we creep around the frozen docks and inky darkness of Limehouse.


In the 16th to the 18th century the area of Limehouse became synonymous as a melting pot of folklore and people as the docks brought stories, superstitions and strange new cultures. It had its own Golem wandering the abandoned warehouses and dockyards, it had the sensational tales of Thomas Burke who wrote of opium dens and backstreet murders even Blur's Damon Albarn invoked the spirit of Dr John Dee in its ancient streets.


We explore it all with the help of the incredible musician, composer and writer Sarah Angliss.


Expect haunted puppets, winter spirits and bell foundries.


And the brilliant Maggie Service reads from The Dark Courtyard by Thomas Burke


Enjoy!
