Description
London's metropolis has undergone a transformation. Once inimitable, it now seems to be spiralling out of control. Iain Sinclair embarks on an electrifying journey through the city, tracing its hidden tunnels and forgotten histories. From the outer limits of the Overground to the pinnacle of the Shard, he encounters a landscape reshaped by development and change. As Sinclair delves deeper into the heart of the city, the ghosts of saints and lost poets begin to emerge from the shadows. The cycling revolution and Brexit have left their mark on this once-familiar place. This is an unforgettable vision of London before it disappears into memory. With its unique blend of history, sociology, and travelogue, "The Last London" offers a fascinating insight into the city's transformation.
