About this product

Product Information

'The best childhood memoir I know' - Jonathan Mirsky, Spectator Hoxton today is one of the most fashionable parts of inner London, yet before the Blitz, it was the capital's most notorious slum area. It was London's busiest market for stolen goods, the centre of the pickpocket trade, home to a razor gang that terrorised racecourses all over southern England. Its main thoroughfare, Hoxton Street, was known also as the roughest street in Britain.But among the people born there in its heyday was Bryan Magee, journalist, academic, philosopher, radio and television broadcaster and Member of Parliament. For him it was home, for his first nine years, until he became an evacuee on the outbreak of war. In this moving and beautifully written book he recalls the vanished world of his childhood and brings it to life again in all its drama and surprise.

A vanished London
Bryan Magee grew up to be an intellectual and to sound exceedingly posh. However, he certainly did not forget his working class roots. Despite the great distance at which he is writing about pre-war Hoxton, he manages to convey the wonderment of a child experiencing his first surroundings. Those days before we start to think too much - they are full of sights, sounds, objects, and people we will never forget. He is writing about the 1930s, but some of the details would have been the same in the early 1960s. For anyone who grew up in pre-sophisticated London, it is nostalgic and somehow very grounding to read this account.Bryan Magee grew up to be an intellectual and to sound exceedingly posh.

Brings back many happy memories
Brilliant book, I read this book a few years ago, lent it to a friend and never had it returned. Looking forward to reading it again. I came from Hoxton but am a few years younger than the author but can remember lots of people and places etc he mentions. A good read if you know the area or not.
