The Notting Hill area of London, behind its present-day affluence, has had a reputation in the past second to none for its criminality. Victorian developers sought to bring in wealthy Londoners to the large villas but in the twentieth century the houses became multi-occupancy and the area synonymous with cheap lodging and crimes of every hue. In this book author Mick Davis explores some of the most notorious crimes associated with Notting Hill and adjoining North Kensington from the Victorian age onwards, including some of the less publicised but equally sensational crimes and infamous characters of this fascinating area.

This collection of true-life crime stories gives a vivid insight into life in Notting Hill and North Kensington in the past. This book will fascinate anyone with an interest in the history of crime as well as those who want to know more about the history of this corner of West London.

Mick Davis worked for one of London’s top criminal defence lawyers covering everything from shoplifting to serial killers. He moved to the Somerset town of Frome permanently in 2006 and now spends his time researching and writing full time. His interests include prehistory, archaeology and criminology.
