Transport for London’s Mind the Gap podcast series is a compelling audio journey through the stories behind the six newly named London Overground lines, and the Mildmay Line is one of them.
Hosted by railway historian and broadcaster Tim Dunn, the series goes beyond the maps and into the heart of London’s communities. In the first episode, Tim visited Mildmay Hospital, the real place behind the name and discovered what makes it so special, and uncovered this pioneering institution's extraordinary history and impact.
In the Mind the Gap Mildmay episode:
Tim meets former patient and HIV activist Jason Reid, who shares how Mildmay helped him through the darkest time in his life.
Mildmay CEO Geoff Coleman gives Tim a tour of the hospital’s cutting-edge facilities.
And Beverley Nelson, a Mildmay social worker with 14 years’ experience, offers insights into the human side of our care.
This isn’t just a trip down memory lane. Mildmay is still caring for people with complex health needs every day - supporting the NHS, reducing hospital pressure, and meeting urgent needs that too often get overlooked.
The podcast is also featured in TfL’s brilliant new report, The New London Overground lines, which showcases the public consultation, community storytelling, and design work that shaped each line’s name. Mildmay’s story stands out - not just for its amazing history, but for our continuing impact. Find out more here.
