By now, viewers of 'Dave's London' will be aware of David Mawby's love for the harmlessly eccentric things in life. So it's time to go in search for some particularly British oddities in the country's capital. David starts off by admiring the chimneys of Battersea Power Station(well known to Pink Floyd fans). Next he calls in at the Battersea Dogs and Cats Home and sees how this 150 year-old institution has given new homes to countless pups and felines. In the adjacent Battersea Park, David talks with American born Jennifer Ullman about her work in keeping this Victorian park, complete with Japanese pagoda, prim and proper. Then it's David's turn to reveal his love of an unusual hobby: short wave listening. After nostalgically walking pass Bush House, headquarters of the BBC World Service, David shows us an all American wireless and then meets up with fellow enthusiast Edwin Parsons who introduces his collection of radios. It's all hungry work so David shows us to his favorite restaurant in London before we meet Ralph Hutchings who explains the ins and outs of restoring old Rolls Royce cars.Totally bewildered by all this mechanical engineering, Dave goes for a pint in Hoxton on the fringe of London's east end and ends up in a sing-a-long with pub pianist Lee Newton, who also explains why he loves real ale.
