With a foreword by Iain Sinclair. London is an ancient city, whose
foundation dates back literally thousands of years into the
legendary prehistory of these islands. Not surprisingly it has
accumulated a large number of stories, both historic and mythical,
during this period, many of which, though faithfully recorded at
the time, have lain almost forgotten in dusty libraries throughout
the city. The Secret Lore of London is a guide to the legends,
including a discussion of their importance as part of the oral
tradition of Britain, combining Prehistoric, Celtic, Arthurian,
Roman, Saxon and Norman levels - each of which has contributed to
the many-layered life of the city. The first part contains a unique
selection of essays (some printed here for the first time) by
experts in their fields, each of whom possesses a unique interest
in the legends of these islands, and who have written widely on
associated themes. The second part of the book will consist of a
Gazetteer of the sites mentioned which are still in existence,
together with various other sites of associated interest, compiled
by the Editor, the contributors, and members of the London Earth
Mysteries Group. This part will be fully updated and extended to
include many more sites. The result is a wide ranging and wholly
fascinating book, with wide sales application possible. A series of
appendixes will include William Stukley's extraordinary document
The Brill, which relates to the ancient prehistoric sites around
the area of present day St. Pancras, and excerpts from some of the
best known 19th and early 20th century works on Legendary London by
Lewis Spence and Harold Bayley Contributors to the book are: Nigel
