Welcome to the London History Show! Every episode, we'll be looking at a different statue, plaque, building or feature of London's landscape that you can find for yourself, and we'll tell its story. In this episode, we look at the mural on the side of St. George's Town Hall, and what it can teach us about fighting back the rising tide of fascism.
