I’ve just read Iain Sinclair’s “The last London”. Great informative book by historian and friend of walking Youtuber John Rogers. Sinclair takes us on a journey across London in a series of walks, sharing personal anecdotes and history of the sites he came across. Much recommended.
After finishing John Roger’s “This other London”, I went to Hong Kong’s city hall library for the first time to borrow Iain Sinclair’s “The last London”. I first heard of Sinclair from John Roger’s youtube videos where he sometimes joins John on his walks. Iain Sinclair offers a deep understanding of many places in London, so I decided to give one of his books a try. I will write a review after finishing the book.
City Hall library, in a listed building in Hong Kong’s Central district that was built in 1962 during the British administration. The whole building reminds me of the schools I attended back in the UK with its brutalist facade.
