Gandhi slept on a roof in working-class Bow - the room is still there

A preserved rooftop room no bigger than a prison cell held Mahatma Gandhi in 1931 while he negotiated the future of 300 million people with the British government - and before he left he wrote four words in the visitors' book that still define the building. Why would a man with open doors in Mayfair choose a rooftop cell in one of the poorest neighborhoods of East London?
In this episode, we tell the story of Kingsley Hall and the Lester family who built it, tracing three generations from an eight-year-old bricklayer's labourer to a community hall opened in 1928, and we ask what those four final words reveal about the hall's purpose and legacy.
