What is visible to the naked eye has been exhaustively raked over; in UNDERGROUND LONDON, acclaimed travel writer Stephen Smith provides an alternative guide and history of the capital. It's a journey through the passages and tunnels of the city, the bunkers and tunnels, crypts and shadows. As well as being a contemporary tour of underground London, it's also an exploration through time: Queen Boudicca lies beneath Platform 10 at King's Cross (legend has it); Dick Turpin fled the Bow Street Runners along secret passages leading from the cellar of the Spaniards pub in North London; the remains of a pre-Christian Mithraic temple have been found near the Bank of England; on the platforms of the now defunct King William Street Underground, posters still warn that 'Careless talk costs lives'. Stephen Smith uncovers the secrets of the city by walking through sewers, tunnels under such places as Hampton Court, ghost tube stations, and long lost rivers such as the Fleet and the Tyburn. This is 'alternative' history at its best.

评分书不错。 不过翻译装B过甚，表面看似文采卓然，实则油腻反胃。译者年轻，师从权威，如果能沉静用工，脱去浮华，当有大成。

评分长安街边上两幢五十年代的大楼计划炸毁，准备给全球化腾地儿。轰隆一声倒下多么的壮观，象征一个新世界的诞生。可是不能这样干，因为下面有庞大市政管网，犹如城市的神经系统。神经系统下面是更庞大的地铁系统。地铁下面还有未知的军防设施，再下面，可能还蕴藏着一座文物古城...
