A walk through London's seamier sides,
By
This review is from: Walking Notorious London : From Gunpowder Plot to Gangland: Walks Through London's Dark History (Paperback)
Andrew Duncan takes the reader on an amusing and informative walk through London's seamier sides ranging from Medieval red-light districts to Jack the Ripper and modern gangsters. Along the way he provides insights into different social aspects of London's history. The book is divided into a dozen or so different walks, each of which covers a different neighborhood and concentrates on a different "theme". Each walk includes a map and a list of pubs and other refreshment points along the way.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A disappointment - but not through the author's fault,
This review is from: Walking Notorious London : From Gunpowder Plot to Gangland: Walks Through London's Dark History (Paperback)
The book provides a great historical description of some places, but if you think you'll read about any modern-day notorious places, you are wrong (maybe 1-2, but that's not what the book is about). It's history, places which USED TO BE notorious. The title says it, I should have read the title more carefully. It is a wondereful discourse in history, but I still cannot give it 5 stars.
