Way way down the property ladder
A tale of two Cities: as high-tech high-rises with eye-wateringly expensive apartments go up and the burned out tomb of Grenfell tower comes down, yet again Londoners are presented with the gigantic disparity in the capital's living standards. But as overcrowding, sky-high rents and homelessness are becoming common again, historians FIONA RULE and SANDRA HEMPEL take us back to their roots in the desperate and strange slums and rookeries of the Victorian city.
FIONA RULE is a writer, researcher and historian. She is the author of five books:- The Worst Street In London (2008), London's Docklands (2009, London's Labyrinth (2011), Streets Of Sin (2015), The Oldest House In London (2017).
SANDRA HEMPEL is a journalist and author who writes on health and social issues. Her first two books – "The Medical Detective" and "The Inheritor's Powder" – are set in 19th century Britain and take as their theme a different aspect of the history of medicine. She is fascinated by the struggle of doctors and medical scientists down the ages to understand the workings of the human body and to diagnose and treat disease.
