Underground London by Stephen Smith

* Fresh, funny and impeccably researched, UNDERGROUND LONDON is 'alternative' history at its best - an illuminating glimpse into the hidden world beneath our feet.
Brilliant.. so much more than just another city ramble. * MAIL ON SUNDAY *
(Smith) offers an enjoyable guide to the subterranean parts of a great city...his sense of the enveloping mysterious is spot-on. * OBSERVER *
A notable portrait of London... By becoming a proper witness to the unseen, covert and little-known, [Smith] rescues reportage and makes of it a kind of poetry * Iain Sinclair, EVENING STANDARD *
Smith's cast of fluffers (Tube cleaners), flushers (sewermen) and toshers (scavengers) make engaging company * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
Stephen Smith works for Channel 4 news and writes regularly for the LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
