I would have loved it I reckon. I scared myself badly one day by visiting the underground Middlesex Prison just up the road from where I worked in Old Street, close to Clerkenwell, a part of the City where you can virtually smell the squalor and violence just under the surface of the present. The Rutherford book sounds interesting, and somewhat similar to Peter Ackroyd’s idea in billing his book, also titled “London”, as “biography”.

But I have to agree, that reporting was exquisite! Nowadays, its so clinical that it makes me feel that such happenings are very commonplace and I can never be safe. Whereas that reporting made it seem like a work of fiction, so I was captivated but not fearful..if that makes sense..
