Tunnels, Towers & Temples takes a sideways look at London,
revealing the hidden stories, curious histories and sometimes comic
assocations behind dozens of often quite familiar places. Through
their stories, the author reveals a strange side of London most
people never come to know, even though they walk its streets every
day and take much of what they see entirely for granted. Typical
examples include extensive networks of tunnels running beneath high
street pavements, secret transport and signalling networks
crisscrossing the capital, genuine oddities such as streetlamps
powered by sewer gas, a street where you can legally drive on the
right, a future Russian Tsar working incognito in a British naval
dockyard, even a Nazi memorial sited among the real heroes and
adventurers of the British Empire. This companion to Spectacular
Vernacular: London's 100 Most Extraordinary Buildings is the best
possible start for anyone who wishes to get off the beaten track
and under the skin of the hidden city that is modern-day London.
