  Covering North, South and West as well as East London, Frankie Fraser's guide to the crimes and criminals of London is based on his hugely successful tour of the capital. So readers will learn at first hand what happened in the hospital at Whitechapel - who was found in 'The Blind Beggar' - what was planned in the Elmington estate - but that's not all. Frank will also talk about growing up in the streets where Jack the Ripper walked - and tell people drinking in some of London's smart clubs what used to go on in there when the 'teams' used them in the old days.
