‘Just pick up a copy and set off. You’ll be amazed at what you’ve missed.’ - Sir Michael Palin
March, 2020: A columnist watches as London locks down, facing a conundrum as his weekly deadline for his newspaper diary approaches.
With the city shutting up shop and column inches to fill, journalist Dan Carrier takes to the deserted streets of Central London to uncover the forgotten stories the heart of the UK capital holds.
Untold London is a consideration and celebration of a city whose famous landmarks and thoroughfares are often taken for granted. Setting out to find lingering evidence of days gone by, Dan reveals unexpected delights, triumphs and tragedies alongside plenty of skulduggery and scandal in the greatest city in the world.
