Jef Page recounts how anarchists and revolutionaries brought their war against Tsarist Russia to London, from a 1909 robbery attempt in Tottenham that left two dead, to the 1910 Houndsditch jewellers' burglary in which three police officers were killed, and the resulting siege of a house in Sidney Street, Stepney, where two gang members were cornered. Presented by Walthamstow Historical Society as part of its regular talks programme.
