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. 'A book full of richness, unexpected enticements, short sharp shocks and breathtaking writing.' Guardian '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.' Independent on Sunday 'I love It.' Giles Foden 'Sinclair brings together a ragtag of verbose bibliomanes, psychogeographers, local historians, mythologizers, curators and visionaries in a dazzling anthology of overheard conversation, blind alleys, forgotten myths and half-held doctrines.' Scotland on Sunday 'Managers to be much like the London it portrays; full of surprise but never less than a land of lost content.' Sunday Telegraph 'There is a wildness and weirdness about the short narratives collected here, as if they had all contracted the contagion of London's darkness. The authors seem haunted by the city.' Peter Ackroyd, The Times
