Book description
A book full of richness, unexpected enticements, short sharp shocks
and breathtaking writing Guardian
Welcome to the real, unauthorised London: the disappeared, the
unapproved, the unvoiced, the mythical and the all-but forgotten.
The perfect companion to the city.
Exhilarating, truly wonderful, a cavalcade of eloquent writing.
London demands an anthology like this to remind us of the irascible
quirkiness of its residents, and we have Sinclair to thank for
marshalling such a perverse and ultimately pleasurable exercise
