EPISODE 6
Tom Chivers' book London Clay: Journeys in the Deep City is erudite and meticulously researched, but it's also funny, poetic and at times very moving. Tom digs down below the surface of the city to find its ancient, lost rivers, whilst also examining his own past. The book is part geological, part historical, and part reflective.
In this episode, Tom and Charlie explore an ancient, subterranean Roman temple, go mudlarking, and find treasure.
