Publisher Description

'Every page is a delight. Every chapter made vivid by a writer who has poured heart and soul into her book' Val Hennessy, Daily Mail

The East End of London - cockneys, criminals, street markets, pub singalongs, dog racing, jellied eels . . .

It is a place at once appealing and unruly, comforting and incomprehensible.

Gilda O'Neill, an East Ender herself, shows there is more to this fascinating area than a collection of clichéd images. Using oral history and more traditional sources, she builds up a powerful image of this community - bringing to us, with wit and honesty, the real story of London's East End
