Book description
The streets of London resonate with secret stories, from East End lore
to Cold War espionage, from tales of riots, rakes, brothers, anarchy and
grisly murders, to Rolling Stones gigs, gangland drinking dens, Orwell's
Fitzrovia and Lenin's haunts. Ed Glinert has walked the city from
Limehouse to Lambeth, Whitehall to Whitechapel, unravelling its
mysteries along the way. This is London as you have never seen it
before. Ed Glinert was born in Dalston. He is the author of
The Literary Guide to London
and The London Compendium
and leads a variety of walking tours around London. His fascination
with people and place, coupled with his forensic gift for digging out
obscure stories is perfectly suited to this uniquely intriguing subject.
