Noel Coward's quote "I don't know what London's coming to - the higher the buildings the lower the morals" provides the title of this collection of fascinating true-life tales featuring the greatest city in the world. From the author of 'Beautiful Idiots and Brilliant Lunatics: A Sideways Look at Twentieth Century London', these stories include the death of Billie Carleton and the Chinese cocaine dealer the Brilliant Chang. We find out the connection between the music hall star Marie Lloyd and the murderer Doctor Crippen, and learn of the meeting of Lord Boothby and Ronnie Kray at Number 1 Eaton Square.
