This course explores the making of a modern metropolis: London in the twentieth century. Using the city as a
classroom, we will take a social and cultural approach to London’s history. The course will attend to differences
in the urban space, thinking about the dividing line of the Thames that separates the city North and South, or
the East/West divide. We will consider the multiplicity of lives lived in London, as shaped by structures including
gender, class, race and age. We will study some of the major events of this period including suffrage campaigns,
two world wars, mass migration and decolonisation. We will also think about how the public history of the city
has been constructed through museums, walking tours, podcasts, documentaries, fiction and film. Part of the
module’s assessment will be creating a short podcast introducing a historic place in London, enabling students
to respond imaginatively to the course themes.
