It’s an overcast Thursday in March or, according to the Hebrew calendar, the fourteenth day of Adar — Purim — in Stamford Hill. Theologically, the religious holiday of Purim celebrates the deliverance of the Jewish people via the foiling of an antisemitic plot and the pre-emptive killing of 70,000 Achaemenidians. But in contemporary Britain, many people just know it as “Jewish Halloween”. Stamford Hill’s Jewish roots extend back well into the 18th century.

In the depths of a London institution you’ll find 27,000 boxes, nine million beetles and a race against time Max Barclay, one of the senior curators at the Natural History Museum, is ferrying me past enormous fossils and raging rivers of school children. “We have about 14,000 people through the door on an average day”, he explains, barely audible over the noise.

Dermot Hudson, a 63-year-old retired civil servant with wispy white hair and a faraway look in his eyes, is proudly showing me a T-34/85 Soviet tank in the Imperial War Museum — one of the few items in the permanent collection he considers unclouded by hostile propaganda. Due to the T-34’s light body and proficiency in cold weather, Hudson explains, they played a decisive role in the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany.

I meet Maurizio Affuso at a cafe in Galleria Umberto I, a towering art nouveau construction opening up onto Naples’ San Carlo opera house. I have three hours before my plane departs for London, but Affuso is relaxed; time moves differently here.

RT @_TheLondoner: In Stamford Hill sits one of Europe's most Orthodox Jewish communities. Now government is intervening in its faith schoo…
'When Miles woke up one morning from unsettling dreams, he found himself changed in his bed into a monstrous bug.'
Thanks to climate change, invasive bug species have put the UK's ecosystems at risk of collapse. In the depths of the Natural History Museum, a team of bug experts, with help from a professional model, are trying to stop that. @milesellingham met them: https://t.co/FJDbU64TUJ
For @_TheLondoner I profiled Dermot Hudson, a London-born former civil servant who’s made it his life’s work to defend and support the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. He also enjoys windmills. https://t.co/3t5dxllld1
