Ben Aaronovitch‘s RIVERS OF LONDON Part 2: from Mister Punch at Covent Garden to Old Mother Thames at Wapping

In Part Two of our riverine excursion guided by the first book in Ben Aaronovitch’s cult series, we start away from the river at Covent Garden, where the hero of the novel – Peter Grant – meets his first ghost and performs a necromantic ritual. We hang out at the ‘Actor’s Church’ then go in search of a gastropub. We’re also on a quest to find the home of English magic – the Folly – in Russell Square – and also Mama Thames’s house in Wapping. Get early access to new episodes and bonus content Hosted on Acast.
