The story of the terrifying cholera epidemic that engulfed London in 1854, and the two unlikely heroes who defeated the disease through a combination of local knowledge, scientific research and map-making. It also explores a whole world of ideas and connections, from ecosystems to the Great Stink, and recreates a London full of dirt, slaughterhouses and scavengers.
