A fascinating account of the tunnels and rivers under London 11 Mar 2000

By christopher_hare@hotmail.com

Format:Paperback

Trench and Hillman take you on the complete guided tour of London's hidden ways, from the sewers to the rivers to the Underground. While comprehensive in some areas (notably the history of tunnelling under the Thames), the volume could do with more detail on the "lost" Underground stations and the military architecture beneath the City. Still an extremely good text, despite this, and well worth reading.

An average book on sub-surface London 6 July 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

After reading other people's reviews, I quite convinced that this book at least had to be relatively good. However, I was rather disapointed and I heartly reccomend reading Andrew Duncan's "Secret London" instead.

Engrossing if occassionally inaccurate and incomplete.

A very interesting work. Occassionally inaccurate, certainly incomplete and a little meandering. Nonetheless a welcome addition to my library.

Excellent book! I'd recommend it to anyone

The best of all of this type of book, I've had a couple of different editions of it and it seems to be expanded with each new edition. Read more
