Night Haunts by Sukhdev Sandhu
London at night, from Shakespeare's time to Dickens to Jack the Ripper, was always seen as a lawless orgy of depravity and pestilence. But is it now as bland and unthreatening as any new town? Here, the author journeys across London to find out whether the London night really has been rendered neutral by street lighting and CCTV cameras.
Some of the most ambitious and memorable work of the last decade* Time Out *
