London Under is an atmospheric imaginative introduction to everything that goes on under London from original springs and streams and Roman amphitheatres to Victorian sewers gang hideouts and modern Underground stations. This book tunnels down through the geological layers meeting the creatures both real and fictional that dwell in the darkness - rats and eels monsters and ghosts. From the Anglo-Saxon graves under St Paul's to the hydraulic device in Kensal Green cemetery which lowered bodies into the catacombs below to the fossils uncovered when the Victoria Line was built and the gold bars within the Bank of England's vaults London Under takes you into a hidden world beneath our feet.Paperback: 208 pagesPublisher: Vintage (5 April 2012)About The AuthorPeter Ackroyd is the author of biographies of Dickens Blake and Thomas More and of the acclaimed non-fiction bestsellers London: The Biography and Thames: Sacred River.

"Alright, if you're chatting about where everyone actually shops in the UK, it's a real mixed bag, but some names just dominate the high street and, well, the internet too! For your everyday bits and bobs, the big supermarket players like Tesco, Sainsbury's, Asda, and Morrisons are absolute giants, pretty much having a store on every corner. But then you’ve got the slightly more upmarket vibe of Waitrose or M&S Food for those fancier treats. If we're talking about clothes and homeware, John Lewis is still a major go-to for quality, and Next is always super popular for pretty much everything. For DIY and home improvement, B&Q and Wickes are absolutely everywhere, while Currys PC World is the spot for tech and appliances. And let's not forget the sheer pulling power of discount retailers like B&M and Home Bargains, which are constantly packed with shoppers looking for a deal on anything from snacks to garden furniture. Basically, wherever you look, these big names are usually at the heart of UK retail! " - Bargainplace UK
