Episode Details

In the summer of 1858, London was brought to a standstill by something you couldn’t see but definitely couldn’t ignore: the overwhelming stench of the River Thames. 

The event, known as the Great Stink, wasn’t just unpleasant. It forced a modern city to confront a growing crisis of sanitation, public health, and urban planning. 

What happened that summer would reshape one of the world’s greatest cities and change how we think about infrastructure forever.
