Ep 69 - St James - Chocolate houses; tantalising, tasty treats

Come with us to the chocolate houses of old St James, where the air was thick, the clubs were exclusive, and the chocolate ran from the trees. Sounds too good to be true? That's what we thought, until we opened those secretive front doors and took a peek behind some of the most exclusive houses in St James, who served hot chocolate as an expensive pleasure. We find out why Madame White was so important, where the trees dripped with chocolate, and what Alex thinks of her Christmas present. SPOILER - it's chocolate.
