In a story packed with historical trivia personal musings & eavesdropped conversations Mark learns how to get the best gossip in a City pub how the Ritz made its female guests feel good about themselves & why the Bank of England won't let you join the M11 northbound at Junction 5. He has an East End cup of tea with the Krays' official biographer discovers what cabbies mean by 'on the cotton' & meets the Archers star who was the voice of Mind the Gap". On a broader level Mark contemplates London's contradictions as well as its charms. He gains insights into our fascination with maps & sees how walking changes our view of the world. Above all in this love letter to a complicated friend he celebrates the sights sounds & soul of the greatest city on earth."
