London: Yesterday and Today

Season 13 Episode 1311 | 25m 35s

Getting up to date in London, we jog with locals in Hyde Park, marvel at cultural treasures in the Victoria and Albert Museum, and nibble through a trendy East End food tour before luxuriating over afternoon tea. Then we celebrate London’s regeneration as it turns industrial wastelands into inviting commercial zones and skyscrapers come with “garden in the sky” viewing platforms.

Aired: 12/02/25 | Expires: 02/09/26
