More about the book
Exploring London's historical reputation, the book delves into its long-standing association with lust and desire, tracing back over a thousand years. It highlights perspectives from figures like Richard of Devises, who noted the city's obscenities in 1180, and references its notoriety for raucous celebrations and debauchery as early as the second century AD. The narrative reveals how the city's bawdy culture has not only persisted but thrived throughout the centuries, painting a vivid picture of its sinful allure.
