An endlessly fascinating anthology of writing about streets, places and people that have disappeared in and from London

‘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’ Independent on Sunday
