Daniel Defoe - radio London interview

Robert Elms show rang me up today to ask me to talk about Daniel Defoe live on the Robert Elms show on Radion London - because. I guess, of the Daniel Defore walks I have done.

They had someone expert on Blue Plaques - who was very well briefed and I thought they hardly needed me but I did ok and managed to mention the Old Operating Theatre Museum!

My main contribution was to point out that the reason Defoe was in Stoke Newington is that this was a centre of non-conformists, following the 5 mile act. General Fleetword, and the Morton dissenters academy were here to.
