Michael Portillo hits central London to explore an exotic store, which was a favorite among Edwardian ladies. At Covent Garden’s Royal Ballet School, he hears how in 1909 a Russian ballet company took London by storm and how its prima ballerina inspired the school’s founding choreographer. Then he heads for Dartford in Kent, where he discovers the origins of netball and gymslips.
