I really enjoyed reading this book, it was jam packed with gory, grim and great historical facts about London. It really helped me when I recently visited London!

This book was filled with rich histories of London, and taught me more information on London that I never knew before. I think this book made me feel a bit scared, because of it’s stories and infos inside of the ghosts haunting the Underground. It also sometimes send chills down my spine, because of how many people died during the plague. It interested me because I liked to visit London a lot, and it gives a lot more of facts on London. I will recommend it to readers who likes to read chapter books. But if you are scared of ghosts👻 or other nasty ways of dying, then don’t read it during nighttime.

Funny but factual . I can't believe what people did and said to people that they thought were lower or higher than them in ranks . I would recommend it as the pictures are also interesting.

This book is interesting to read and the history tells a lot of facts. In this book, they talk about the history of London and how it grew. It goes from The Dark Ages to the Victorians. I recommend this book to people who like reading history books.

This book was fun to read although it did teach me a lot about the history of London. I mainly enjoyed the small comic strips in the book. Many of the facts and stories made me laugh because of the way they were told, even though most of them were quite gruesome.

I thought this book was really interesting and gross and I felt a bit sad at the horrible things they did to people and animals! I would definitely show this book to my friends.

It looked good on the cover however it was just all of the things you can learn in the other Horrible History books bunched up into one book personaly it was not as funny as all of the other books. I would not recommend it to any one
