I read that book - it was quite an eye-opener.

Saw "New Posts For You" when I got back to FR. Thought I was to get some flak, maybe I will but can I take it in good part. Another great book on the East End of London is:

The People of the Abyss.
Jack London. 1908.

American author London, bought second hand clothes and slummed it in the East End. He said he was a sailor down on his luck. He slammed the British Empire for it's rotten treatment of the poorer classes. With which I had to agree. Better things came with David Lloyd George and his old age pension and workman's compensation 1911.
