Tonight, my guest is author Catharine Arnold, here to take us on a fascinating—and eerily beautiful—journey through the shadowy side of one of the world’s greatest cities. In her captivating book Necropolis: London and Its Dead, Arnold peels back the layers of history to reveal a city built as much by the living as it was shaped by the dead.

Above ground, London pulses with life. But beneath its crowded streets lie the remnants of two thousand years of plague victims, paupers, royalty, and rebels—each with a story to tell. From Roman burial rites to the somber spectacle of Princess Diana’s funeral, Arnold explores how death, mourning, and memory have shaped the very fabric of the city.

Graveyards swallowed by time, cemeteries born of catastrophe, and the forgotten rituals of the departed all come to light in this gripping exploration. With a blend of archaeology, anecdote, and atmospheric detail, Necropolis reminds us that in London, the past is never truly buried—and the dead are never far behind.
