This month find out about:

The Great Fire
In September 1666 the City of London was almost destroyed by what became known as The Great Fire. The fire started in Pudding Lane and this programme was recorded there with the help of James Clare who is the Historic Buildings Architect for the City of London.

A Polish Londoner
Who can blame us for loving London? It's a city where you can meet interesting people from almost every country in the world! But have you ever wondered why some of those people have made London their home? And what may have happened to them on their way to the big city? Today, we're told the story of a Polish lady's journey to London - and we hear a little about the history of her country along the way!

How to be a stand-up
A stand-up comedian is someone who stands up on a stage in front of an audience and tells jokes and funny stories to make people laugh. Shappi Korsandi describes herself as an Iranian comedian from London. BBC Learning English reporter, Clare Mace, recently spoke to her and asked her what it takes to become a stand-up comedian.

Polish Food
There are lots of Polish people living in London, so not surprisingly there are a lot of shops selling Polish food in England's capital city. In this week's London Life we visit 'Polish Specialities' - a popular Polish delicatessen in west London. Magda Harvey is the manager and you can find out from her why she opened the shop and how successful it is. Learn more about why Polish people still love their Polish food, even when they are living in the UK - and just what do Poles think of British food?

Domesday Book
In this programme, we hear about an iconic 11th century document that's now online. The National Archives at Kew in west London has made The Domesday Book available on the internet for the first time. It's a great land survey from the year 1086 - it's a detailed description of who owned land in England 920 years ago. It also lists who lived where and how many animals they owned, for example, and what buildings there were - such as churches, mills and castles.
