  Aimed at visitors and residents alike, this guide follows the tainted trail of London's notorious past. District by district, the author pinpoints extraordinary scenes of scandal and intrigue - some still vivid in memory, others buried by the tastes of subsequent generations - that have lent London notoriety. With the East End best remembered for Jack the Ripper and the Kray Twins, Bankside for its Tudor red-light area and the City for recent financial scandals and mystery suicides, many of London's other boroughs have experienced their share of infamy over the centuries.
