Notting Hill was not always an upmarket residential enclave and
celebrity hotspot. Streets of Sin delves into the district's murky
past and relates the deplorable scandals and shocking crimes that
blighted the area from its development until the late twentieth
century. Best-selling London historian Fiona Rule sheds new light
on notorious events that took place amid the leafy streets,
including the horrifying murders at Rillington Place, the nefarious
career of slum landlord Peter Rachman, the Profumo affair and
Britain's first race riots. She reveals what life was like in
'Rotting Hill' during its dark years when murder, extortion and
disorder were everyday occurrences, and explores the price its
residents have had to pay to climb up out of the ghetto.
