West End Chronicles

The West End is historically the beating heart of London life and in _West End Chronicles_ Ed Glinert looks at the glorious triumphs of this thriving district.From Mayfair to Soho, Shaftesbury Avenue to Fitzrovia, the West End has always been at the glittering heart of London’s social life, lit by cosy cafes, brothels, drinking dens and music venues. Glinert also exposes the hidden world of violence and crime that lies below the glitzy charm, a place familiar to Aleister Crowley and the Mafia. The glorious triumphs of West End Life - the Dorchester’s luxurious World War Two bomb shelters and Rothschild’s zebra drawn coach bringing Picadilly to a standstill, to name but two - are covered in vivid colour and detail. The very core and fabric of society is examined, as Glinert
reveals a world of nineteenth century cocaine addicts, murder and vice, all combining to show the hub of London in an entirely new way.“An affectionate, chatty history of the East End’s younger, richer, loucher, cousin.” _Sunday Telegraph_
