A celebration of the Olympic boroughs, in story and song.
In week ten of our folk tales from the five Olympic London Boroughs, Ruairidh Anderson tells the story of Anne Boleyn, former Queen, and former Greenwich resident.
‘Of all the residents of Greenwich perhaps the most famous is King Henry VIII. Many happy days were spent in the area with his court and whichever wife he had on his arm at the time’
All songs are free to download from Songs From The Howling Sea. Lyrics can be found here.
