Underground London: Travels Beneath The City Streets

Smith, a journalist for London's Channel 4 News, has written a jaunty tale of London's history from the point of view of its underground structures. His travels among palace foundations and through culverts and tunnels built for water, sewer, train, and cable, and the rich history of the uses they've served make for a fun and fascinating read.
