Description
This Other London is a journey through the uncharted reaches of the city, where the familiar suburbs conceal a rich history waiting to be uncovered. John Rogers sets out to explore the forgotten corners of London, from the remote wilderness of Crayford Marshes to the ancient ruins of Lesnes Abbey, and discovers the stories that lie beneath the surface of everyday life.
With a mix of curiosity and determination, Rogers delves into the overlooked tales of London's past, from the holy wells of Lewisham to the heretical frescoes of West Ham. Along the way, he encounters a cast of characters, from the Highwaymen of Hounslow Heath to the cyclists of Herne Hill Velodrome, each with their own story to tell.
This Other London is a fascinating exploration of the city's hidden corners, revealing the complexities and nuances of urban life. Join John Rogers on his journey into the heart of the city, and discover the unexpected stories that lie just beyond the edge of the familiar.
