SUMMARY

The part of London we see today is just the tip of a huge underground world. Beneath it are lost villages, streets, rivers and fields, not to mention the network of tunnels, cables, pipes and -- very importantly -- sewers, which make it possible for millions of people to live here. Peel away some of the layers, hold your nose and discover: Just how disgusting London was before underground sewers were built; How to go on archaeology digs in London; How to trace the city's lost rivers; How Isambard Kingdom Brunel and his dad built the first tunnel under the Thames; Where Winston Churchill fought World War II underground; How the London Blitz revealed some ancient secrets about the city; Where you can find the Tube's ghost stations. This book will get you hooked on the London that you can't see above ground. In each chapter the author tells you where to walk to trace the underground city and at the back you'll find a section with some great museums to visit. Book jacket.Marchant, Ian is the author of 'Crypts, Caves and Tunnels of London', published 2004 under ISBN 9781904153047 and ISBN 1904153046.
