Just finished 'Nightwalking: a nocturnal history of London' by Matthew Beaumont.
It had good parts, and satisfied the historian in me, but it had three things which irritated me (note: Beaumont is an academic)

2. The author uses overly-flowery language at times.
3. The foreward and afterword by Will Self is pointless.
