Croydonopolis, Classic Boat Festival, Nellie Charles

David Grant sits in

Editor of the Londonist website, Will Noble, has written his first book, ‘Croydonopolis: A Journey To The Greatest City That Never Was’ - are we underestimating the social, cultural and historical impact of the much maligned London borough?
The annual Classic Boat Festival returns to the capital for its fifteenth year. Fifty vessels are taking part ranging from elegant sailing yachts to majestic steamboats and war heroes, plus a royal barge that's a legacy to Queen Elizabeth II. We hear from Kevin Finn of Dunkirk Little Ships plus Jamie Aitkin of St Katherine Docks Marina.
Live music from rising R&B star Nellie Charles.
