London Under

I found this book to be lightweight. It's almost as though each chapter was the outline for a larger, more informative chapter that hadn't been written. I can't deny that it's well-written, it is actually quite atmospheric, but I don't really feel as though I know much more than I did before I started.

The majority of the information is in the minority of the text. It suffers from constant restatement of the author's thesis that humankind sees underground pursuits as hell-like, and relies heavily on the reader's existing knowledge of the topography of London.
