Behind the London of the sanitised heritage industry, there is a London of esoteric secrets, of obscure institutions and of half-forgotten locations. 
 
Occult London reveals the city's secret history and its most notable characters: the infamous Elizabethan magus John Dee; architects such as Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor, who masterminded some of the most recognisable structures of the capital's skyline; Theosophist Madame Blavatsky and occult bad-boy Aleister Crowley. The reader is also given a tour of notable esoteric sites – from the well-known (such as the British Museum) to the obscure (such as Bunhill Fields, formerly known as the 'Bone Hill', now the resting place of William Blake, arguably the quintessential London poet). This compellingly written guide is one for anybody considering a tour of London's esoteric history and heritage.
