Synopsis
London has a long and fascinating history which has not always been pleasant; it has been peppered with murderers, shoplifters, smugglers, prostitutes, grave robbers and highwaymen. Learn about the darker side of the history of this great city through the buildings and sites on London streets which remain standing to tell the story. Do you want to know where Ronnie Kray shot George Cornell? Do you want to pay your respects to the victims of Jack the Ripper? Do you want to know what went on behind the doors of the most discreet hotel in London? You will find these locations to visit, and many more within these pages. This guide will take you on a journey visiting 299 sites covering the history of more than 60 crimes (or crime sprees) which took place over nearly 1,000 years of London’s criminal past. Visit where heists were planned, murders were carried out, bodies were dumped and criminals were punished. You can follow the pre-set tours which includes a murder site tour, pub crawl and a cemetery tour or you can create a bespoke tour depending on where you happen to be in this great city. But rest assured, you will start to wonder what went on behind every closed door you see.

Paperback. Etat : Fine. Polish your curiosity, lace up your sensible shoes, and set your A?Z to ?morbidly fascinated.? The True Crime Lover?s Guide to London (2024) by Charlotte Booth & Brian Billington ?published by White Owl ?is the walking companion that takes you down side streets with excellent manners and terrible histories. It?s half gazetteer, half confessional, and entirely the book that whispers, ?Yes, there?s a blue plaque?no, it?s not for that ?but the alley opposite has a story that still checks its locks.? Booth and Billington aren?t here to glorify villains; they?re here to map consequences . Borough by borough, they triangulate incident, investigation, and aftermath, treating the city like a palimpsest where polite cafés rest atop newspaper thunder. You get crisp directions (?left at the lion, right after the bakery that knows your name?), potted case histories that resist melodrama, and context that ensures you remember the people before the plot twist. The tone? Calm, witty, faintly allergic to sensationalism?like a tour guide who carries both an umbrella and a bibliography. Inside, expect: Street-level briefings : what happened, where it happened, what changed because it happened. Map dots with morals : London?s squares, courts, mews, canals, and cul-de-sacs, each annotated with a lesson more durable than a headline. From gaslight to blue light : Victorian detective craft to modern forensics, with chain-of-custody celebrated like a national sport. Media vs. memory : tabloids roaring, communities remembering, the city quietly editing itself between editions. Walks with snacks : practical waypoints that respect the ancient laws of coffee, loos, and the strategic sit-down. Ethics that don?t mumble : victims foregrounded, myth deflated, gawpiness politely shown the door. This isn?t a ghost train; it?s a responsible atlas of unease . The authors have that museum-curator knack: let the place speak, then translate the echo. You?ll learn why some corners feel charged, how a single case can redraw a policing map, and why London keeps the receipts in archives the size of small nations. Why this copy? It sidles over from the refreshingly frank emporium Crappy Old Books , tagged Condition: Good ?translation: square spine, clean pages, a whisper of shelf-browse . The sort of guide you can fold open on a park bench without the wind unbinding your itinerary. Respectable enough for the coffee table; sturdy enough for drizzle. Vital stats for your evidence satchel: Title: The True Crime Lover?s Guide to London Authors: Charlotte Booth & Brian Billington Publisher: White Owl , 2024 ISBN: 9781399031264 Condition: Good (tidy, streetwise, drizzle-tolerant) Vendor: Crappy Old Books ?the name confesses; the stock corroborates. Buy it for the routes ; keep it for the recalibration ?that patient habit of asking what happened here, who was harmed, what changed, and how do we walk this city well? After a few chapters you?ll find yourself timing alleyways like a detective, tipping your hat to archivists, and treating every blue plaque as a conversation opener rather than a punchline. London remains vast, layered, and opinionated; this book hands you the legend for the map and says, kindly, mind the living as much as the past . N° de réf. du vendeur 4793
