Iain Sinclair: Upriver

http://www.lrb.co.uk/v31/n12/sinc01_.html

Ostensibly a review of 'Sacred River' by Peter Ackroyd, but Sinclair can't resist attempting his own Thames walk, in the opposite direction to Ackroyd's. It gives him another opportunity to rail against the 'regeneration' of East London in anticipation of the Olympics.

Stranded


The very menacing Strand Lane, just west of Surrey St. Stumbled upon whilst trying to find a short cut from Embankment up to The Strand. There's an old watch house and roman bath at the top end of the lane. The rest of it is pure urban horror. Lovely.
