Paperback. Condition: New. London has been a favourite city for film directors to shoot on location for decades, as it houses some of the most iconic British landmarks as well as beautiful historic buildings.

That is what this book is about.Have you ever wondered where Hatchet Harry's office was in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, where Mitchel gets stabbed in London Boulevard, where the final fight took place between the Millwall and Chelsea gangs in the Football Factory, or where Poirot's flat was in the iconic TV series?You will be able to visit all of these locations using this book. You can also take a tour of your favourite movie's locations, go on a crime movie pub crawl (although be warned - there are a lot of pubs in crime movies), take a chilled walk through cemeteries and churches or even create your own tours based on postcode.In this book you will find more than 630 locations from 76 crime movies and 12 crime-related TV shows. The book also has more than 100 images taken around the city showing the locations as you will see them today to help you channel your inner Danny Dyer, Poirot or even Kingsman.

Paperback. Condition: Fine. Polish your curiosity, lace up your sensible shoes, and set your A?Z to ?morbidly fascinated.? The True Crime Lover?s Guide to London (2024) by Charlotte Booth & Brian Billington ?published by White Owl ?is the walking companion that takes you down side streets with excellent manners and terrible histories. It?s half gazetteer, half confessional, and entirely the book that whispers, ?Yes, there?s a blue plaque?no, it?s not for that ?but the alley opposite has a story that still checks its locks.? Booth and Billington aren?t here to glorify villains; they?re here to map consequences . Borough by borough, they triangulate incident, investigation, and aftermath, treating the city like a palimpsest where polite cafés rest atop newspaper thunder. You get crisp directions (?left at the lion, right after the bakery that knows your name?), potted case histories that resist melodrama, and context that ensures you remember the people before the plot twist. The tone? Calm, witty, faintly allergic to sensationalism?like a tour guide who carries both an umbrella and a bibliography. Inside, expect: Street-level briefings : what happened, where it happened, what changed because it happened. Map dots with morals : London?s squares, courts, mews, canals, and cul-de-sacs, each annotated with a lesson more durable than a headline. From gaslight to blue light : Victorian detective craft to modern forensics, with chain-of-custody celebrated like a national sport. Media vs. memory : tabloids roaring, communities remembering, the city quietly editing itself between editions. Walks with snacks : practical waypoints that respect the ancient laws of coffee, loos, and the strategic sit-down. Ethics that don?t mumble : victims foregrounded, myth deflated, gawpiness politely shown the door. This isn?t a ghost train; it?s a responsible atlas of unease . The authors have that museum-curator knack: let the place speak, then translate the echo. You?ll learn why some corners feel charged, how a single case can redraw a policing map, and why London keeps the receipts in archives the size of small nations. Why this copy? It sidles over from the refreshingly frank emporium Crappy Old Books , tagged Condition: Good ?translation: square spine, clean pages, a whisper of shelf-browse . The sort of guide you can fold open on a park bench without the wind unbinding your itinerary. Respectable enough for the coffee table; sturdy enough for drizzle. Vital stats for your evidence satchel: Title: The True Crime Lover?s Guide to London Authors: Charlotte Booth & Brian Billington Publisher: White Owl , 2024 ISBN: 9781399031264 Condition: Good (tidy, streetwise, drizzle-tolerant) Vendor: Crappy Old Books ?the name confesses; the stock corroborates. Buy it for the routes ; keep it for the recalibration ?that patient habit of asking what happened here, who was harmed, what changed, and how do we walk this city well? After a few chapters you?ll find yourself timing alleyways like a detective, tipping your hat to archivists, and treating every blue plaque as a conversation opener rather than a punchline. London remains vast, layered, and opinionated; this book hands you the legend for the map and says, kindly, mind the living as much as the past .
