Ep 60 - Covent Garden - Dick Turpin, the legendary swashbuckling highwayman - a podcast by Alex Lacey

Is Dick Turpin all glamorous swashbuckling and mysterious gentleman, or is there a darker truth to his legendary status? Today we head to Covent Garden's Drury Lane to visit the last London watering hole for the infamous Dick Turpin as we take a look at the history behind one of the UK's most characterful villains. Is there any truth in the stories that he was a gentlemanly thief, or is the real story much darker?
