The huge word-of-mouth bestseller - completely updated for 2019
THE LONDON THAT TOURISTS DON'T SEE
Look beyond Big Ben and past the skyscrapers of the Square Mile, and you
will find another London. This is the land of long-forgotten tube
stations, burnt-out mansions and gently decaying factories. Welcome to
DERELICT LONDON a realm whose secrets are all around us, visible to
anyone who cares to look . . .
Paul Talling - our best-loved investigator of London's underbelly - has
spent over fifteen years uncovering the stories of this hidden world.
Now, he brings together 100 of his favourite abandoned places from
across the capital: many of them more magnificent, more beautiful and
more evocative than you can imagine.
Covering everything from the overgrown stands of Leyton Stadium to the
windswept alleys of the Aylesbury Estate, DERELICT LONDON reveals a
side of the city you never knew existed.
**It will change the way you see London.
