For the inhabitants of medieval London, crammed into an area defined by the city walls of Roman Londinium and without sewers or fresh water, staying healthy was big business. Follow the ebb and flow of the Thames - London's lifeline, but also the bringer of filth and disease - and with it the ebb and flow of sickness and cure. Discover the sights, sounds and stomach-churning smells of the medieval riverside, from the butchery of surgeons to the learned hopelessness of physicians and the fiery end of the medieval city.

With Mark Pilkington, Strange Attractor Press.
