Delving into Islington's dark past, this book chronicles its evolution from a charming village to a site of urban decay, and eventually, its revival post-World War II. It highlights notorious figures like highwayman Dick Turpin and murderer Dr. Crippen, alongside lesser-known but equally shocking crimes, such as the Islington baby-farming scandal and the tragic murder of a mother and her children. The narrative reveals a hidden history of crime that contrasts sharply with Islington's modern image, captivating those intrigued by London's criminal legacy.
