In this Apollo podcast, Thomas Marks is joined by Charles Saumarez Smith, Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts, London, to talk about his new book, East London (Thames & Hudson). The discussion ranges from the pleasures of architectural photography to the perils of gentrification, as well as exploring the history of writing and recording the East End of London.
East London developed out of Charles Saumarez Smith’s blog, which he continues to update regularly here.
