Description
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.

“Offering some of the greatest insights we have into contemporary London.” —Michael Moorcock, Daily Telegraph “A book that restores some mystery and romance to the London night.” —Times “Unconventional, poetic and haunting meditation on the capital’s hours of darkness and the largely unregarded men and women who wakefully inhabit it.” —Observer “Some of the most ambitious and memorable work of the last decade.”—Time Out“Artangel is truly on the side of the angels.”—Independent “Sandhu turns his gaze on a side of London many of us blithely pass through regularly; a dirty city with dirty secrets, after dark … Night Haunts is layered and lyrical … an essential though underappreciated contribution to the 2000s psychogeography revival.”—Johny Pitts, Observer |
