Reviews

"This book is a wonderful way to explore this sometimes secretive city, great for either hardened Londoners or first time visitors."

Robert Elms BBC London 94.9FM

"The book gives a great picture of the history of the areas, and focuses not just on existing buildings, but also the people who frequented the area. It points out things 99% of visitors would otherwise overlook ... There is much more detail than in a standard guide book, but it is entertainingly written, and covers everything from architecture, immigration and cultural influences to movies and criminals."

5* Anthony B Murphy

"I've read the whole book in one go as if it were a novel - just couldn't put it down!!!"
