In a conversational and amiable literary tour, Madness frontman Suggs takes a nostalgic look at those characterful bits of London yet to be developed, destroyed or sanitised. Being a fairly colourful character himself he can often call on his own anecdotes to illustrate the point (his breaking into the Groucho Club being a notable example) but sadly the text is punctuated with disclaimers that 'such and such' no longer exists. Get it while you can .
