Simon Woolley: BBC’s Listed Londoner

As an activist I’m used to talking about others: Those who are fighting for racial justice, others who seek to be BME role models, and for our communities demanding basic equality. That’s my chosen role and I’m proud of that. For nearly 20 years I’ve rarely talked about myself. That was until BBC London’s Robert Elms invited me to be his guest as this week’s ‘Listed Londoner’.

It took no persuasion for me to agree to go on his programme. Robert Elms, unlike too many of today’s London radio talk show hosts, loves London and those who live here. For the last decade and more his programme has always been celebratory; the people, the buildings, the spaces, the energy, all thrown together to make up the capital’s teeming metropolis. Some radio programmes make you scowl and scorn. Elm’s simply makes you smile and be proud you live in the London .

So here’s my twenty odd minutes with Mr London himself, Robert Elms.
