About the book

London Characters and Crooks presents a colourful portrait of the people who inhabited the capital's streets, markets, taverns and criminal districts. The book brings together eccentric personalities, rogues and ordinary Londoners whose lives reveal the city beyond its respectable public image. Through anecdote and social observation, it captures the humour, hardship and ingenuity of urban life and provides an entertaining glimpse into London's less conventional history.
