    Just in time for Halloween - unlucky Episode 13! And with Charlotte in Covid Jail AKA self-isolation, we resort to Zoom (the horror!) to share our thoughts on the the best of pre-gentrified London. From the joys of the 'Pirates and Pilgrims' pub crawl to watching the sun set from the roof terrace of Alfie's Antiques via record shops with eccentric opening times and the elusive charms of Eel Pie Island, we talk you through our favourites sights and pints untouched by the man-bun-and-kombucha brigade. And in keeping with the curse of the number 13, the Zoom recording isn't always up to our exacting Niffler standards, but post-Hallows, rest assured that we will be back in person with our finest recording tech. Recorded 5th October 2021.
