I really enjoyed this book. It covers a lot of famous London landmarks (Houses of Parliament, 10 Downing Street, St James Palace, St Pauls, etc) and gives a nice depth to the stories. It's also a very handy size and weight for carrying around and this makes it ideal for taking to London with you when you visit. Handy map included at the end.

If you're looking for a gazetteer of London hauntings this isn't the book for you. The author has focussed on drawing more detailed sketches of well-known, and less well-known, hauntings in selected areas of London. This gives a lot of good colour to the capital's ghostly history, and gets far more interesting due to the depth. I especially liked the focus on the history of Hyde Park.
This is a well produced book, with plenty of relevant pictures accompanying the text, shame they're all mono but that doesn't really detract from the overall quality of the book.
This is the second book in this series that I've bought, and I'd recommend them to anyone who wants more detail, especially if you plan on visiting the sites.

Many of us go to London knowing that many of the places & buildings are older than we would care to believe, but the hidden history is also fun to find out. With this book you will read it and will be amazed just how many well know places are haunted. This book gives the places and the history behind the ghosts a great book to take with you on a day visit or to plan your trip to take in these places. Ever fancied walking in the steps of Jack the Ripper?
