This is a very enjoyable book. Self contained chapters that each provide fascinating stories, with many interesting digression, from London in the 20th century. This book is based on the popular London history website nickelinthemachine.com

I am enjoying how Rob Baker generally links two or three related topics and constructs a chapter using the links between each.

Just enjoyed a couple of good chapters: The Blind Beggar and the shooting of George Cornell by Ronnie Kray, and Christine Keeler and the fight at the Flamingo Al-nighter which led to the Profumo affair.

I had no idea that Cass Elliot and Keith Moon both died in the same bed - albeit with a gap of about 4 years. The bed belonged to Harry Nilsson and was in his London apartment itself tastefully decorated by Harry's pal Ringo Starr (and business partner). Loving this book.
