​Some reviews:
…Gilly’s tales are delivered in a quick-fire manner that leaves the reader satisfied.....Couldn't wait to turn the  page   ..The author clearly had a lot of fun researching this book and you’ll get the same from reading it .... Absolutely fascinating  ….fabulous read  - added greatly to my knowledge of  London   …easy to dip in and out of to get to your favourite tidbits. ….Gilly has done an excellent job of finding unusual facts instead of just run-of-the mill touristy information and history lessons.. ...a great read ....revelling in her eclectic collection, Gilly makes the quirky underbelly of one of the world’s great cities spring vibrantly to life..  ....Compulsive reading ..... fresh revelations ..narrative storytelling style... much more readable than the usual fact-packed miscellany' ...   ...although not fictional, Gilly endows her books with a quality seen in most novels; curiosity and suspense   '.....  By the book’s nature, we lose chronology and the past feels it is rubbing up against the present ..... 'hugely interesting read from start to finish'...... 'full of humour, interest and information'
