Description

London, more than any other city, has a secret history concealed from view. Behind the official facade promoted by the heritage industry, lies a city of esoteric traditions and obscure institutions, of lost knowledge and hidden locations. Occult London rediscovers this hidden history, unearthing the secret city and its forgotten inhabitants. Encompasses history from the Elizabethan age to today, and covers such varied topics as magic, Kabbalah, occult designs and occult organisations. Includes four walk routes and an A to Z of occult locations.
