Summary

TRAVEL & HOLIDAY GUIDES. From Sherlock Holmes's Baker Street and Jack the Ripper's Whitechapel to the East End of the Krays and The Sweeney's sleazy Soho, London's streets have played silent witness to countless crimes both real, and imagined. Moreover, in print and on screen the city has exported its criminal heritage to the world, becoming a global capital of wrongdoing rivalled only by New York and Los Angeles. Yet there is no single guide to its darker points of interest. Traversing the city's factual and fictional past, Criminal London features five original walks and over a hundred locations, including: the scenes of infamous murders; watering holes frequented by notorious felons; the homes of great consulting detectives; and locations from London's rich history of law and order, such as the Clink, Tyburn Tree and Bow Street Police Station
