This vintage book contains Henry Mayhew's account of the London Underworld during the Victorian period, constructed from authentic first-person accounts by beggars, thieves and prostitutes. Hailed as the first and perhaps greatest sociological studies of poverty in 19th-century London, this survey practiced the techniques of oral history - a hundred years before the term was first coined. It provides a vivid and authentic description of the labour, earnings, and problems of the lower classes in London, and will be of considerable utility to anyone with an interest in the day-to-day life of London's underbelly during this time. The chapters of this book include: Prostitution in London, The Dependents of Prostitutes, Clandestine Prostitutes, Cohabitant Prostitutes, Criminal Returns, Traffic in Foreign Women, The Sneaks, Pickpockets and Shoplifters, Horse and Dog Stealers, etcetera. We are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

London’s Underworld takes us on the nightmarish last journeys of condemned criminals to the gallows at Tyburn. We enter death-trap eighteenth century prisons, one of which the novelist Henry Fielding described as a ‘prototype of hell’. We walk the crowded streets of Victorian London with its swarms of prostitutes and follow the ingenious villains who carried out the first great train robbery in 1854. We see the rise and fall of the interwar racecourse gangs and the bloody battle for control of the Wes End. This fascinating book illustrates how crime in the capital has evolved from the extreme violence of the early eighteenth century to the vastly more complex and lucrative, but no less brutal, gangland of today.
