Writer Andrea Levy presents ten anthologies of short pieces for radio that capture a certain off-beat spirit of London.

In tonight's programme: on a warm summer night, we join the elite Trauma team rushing to the aid of victims of accidents in central and east London... And meet a Korean hairdresser in New Maldon who's mad about Shakespeare and is bringing a Korean Romeo and Juliet to Britain.

Plus: another London beyond London - tonight, Little London in Leeds - and the regular feature Pairs in Squares, with Jonathan Glancey and guests.

Andrea Levy sadly died of cancer aged 62 in February 2019.

Executive Producer: Simon Elmes
