Mapping the Town: Spitalfields

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

2/6. In the East End of London, Spitalfields has always been home to immigrant populations: from the Huguenots in the 17th century through to the Jews in the 19th, and the 21st century wave of Somali and Bengali settlers. Julian Richards discovers more about this fascinating area, including how Brick Lane has influenced the nation's cuisine.
