N2  - "London at night has always been seen as a lawless orgy of depravity and pestilence. But is it now as bland and unthreatening as any new town? Sukhdev Sandhu journeys across the city to find out whether the London night really has been rendered neutral by ASBOs and CCTV cameras. His forays see him prospecting in nocturnal London with the people who drive its pulse, from the avian police to security guards, urban fox-hunters and exorcists. He wades through the sewers, hangs out with fugitive graffiti writers, and accompanies the nuns of Tyburn as they pray for the souls of Londoners. Night Haunts seeks to reclaim the mystery and romance of the city - to revitalize the great myth of London for a new century."--BOOK JACKET
