Nature of Things - A Salon for the curious mind

Discovering Hidden London

Lola May sits down with Hana Sutch, co-founder of the walking app Go Jauntly, for a conversation about the joy of getting lost in London, the hidden histories you can discover on foot, and why the UK is one of the least nature-connected countries in the world.

Lola May in Conversation with Go Jauntly's Hana Sutch

Walking in London is full of surprises. A lost river hiding beneath a street name. A pub called the Bank of Friendship because it once sat on a real river bank. An aqueduct and viaduct crossing paths in the Welsh hills. These are the kinds of stories that come tumbling out when you put two people who care about walking in a room together.
