Traditional depictions of London at night have imagined a lawless orgy of depravity and pestilence. But is Britain's capital after dark now as bland and unthreatening as an evening in any new provincial town? Sukhdev Sandhu journeys across the city to find out whether the London night really has been rendered insipid by street lighting and CCTV. Night Haunts seeks to reclaim the mystery and romance of the city-to revitalize the great myth of London for a new century.
Sukhdev Sandhu is the author of London Calling. He lives in New York and London, and writes for London Review of Books, Modern Painters and Times Literary Supplement. He is the award-winning chief film critic of Daily Telegraph and Associate Professor of English and Social and Cultural Analysis at New York University.
