London Under by Peter Ackroyd - King Bob - 06-19-2017

Got this at the library sale intending to sell it, and the store wouldn't buy it, so I decided to read it. 

It's about things under the ground in London. There are chapters on now-buried rivers, the Underground, sewers etc. It's sort of impressionistic - not a lot of detail, and then musings about things. The bits about the Underground and disused stations and secret government tunnels made during WWII were the most interesting. It has a bibliography for further reading if one were so inclined. It would be a good read if you were in London, less so here. But I read it right before I started Neverwhere, and it went nicely with that.
