Summary It's time for a little history. David starts off in Tottenham, not at the local football stadium but at Bruce Castle, a magnificent Elizabethan palace. Museum Curator Deborah Hedgecock unveils royal plots, ghost stories and other mysteries as she reveals the history of this part of North London. Rapid population growth in this part of the capital in the 1800's led to a variety of social and other problems. David investigates how the Victorians solved the problem of sewage and meets a group of people who are faithfully restoring a powerful beam engine. Nowadays the nearby River Lea is a place for Londoners to mess about on boats. David rests for a moment on one of the many house barges found on this waterway. Never missing a moment to delve into London's rock n' roll history, David revisits Epping Forest where in the sixties mods and rockers would stage their infamous battles. Peace reigns though as David moves on to London's mecca for bikers and scooter fans, the Ace Café on the North Circular Road. Viewers are introduced to a grand selection of two Wheeler's old and new as former mods and rockers harmoniously share their passion for these superb vehicles.
