From the mystics in Wellclose Square conjuring up golems in kabbalistic rituals to the gory Ratcliffe Highway Murders on a December night in 1811; from the Huguenot weavers to the horrors of the Black Death, the underbelly of the metropolis is revealed in this fascinating themed history of the East End. Even as the new and revitalised East End has emerged from the ruins of WW2, with the artists' colonisation of Spitalfields and the growth of Banglatown, its mythology continues to reverberate across the centuries.
