史蒂芬·史密斯(Stephen Smith),英國電視颱第四頻道的新聞主持人,常為一些雜誌寫文章。比如:《倫敦書評》、《新政治傢》、《康德•納斯特旅行傢》。
What is visible to the naked eye has been exhaustively raked over; in UNDERGROUND LONDON, acclaimed travel writer Stephen Smith provides an alternative guide and history of the capital. It's a journey through the passages and tunnels of the city, the bunkers and tunnels, crypts and shadows. As well as being a contemporary tour of underground London, it's also an exploration through time: Queen Boudicca lies beneath Platform 10 at King's Cross (legend has it); Dick Turpin fled the Bow Street Runners along secret passages leading from the cellar of the Spaniards pub in North London; the remains of a pre-Christian Mithraic temple have been found near the Bank of England; on the platforms of the now defunct King William Street Underground, posters still warn that 'Careless talk costs lives'. Stephen Smith uncovers the secrets of the city by walking through sewers, tunnels under such places as Hampton Court, ghost tube stations, and long lost rivers such as the Fleet and the Tyburn. This is 'alternative' history at its best.

評分長安街邊上兩幢五十年代的大樓計劃炸毀,準備給全球化騰地兒。轟隆一聲倒下多麼的壯觀,象徵一個新世界的誕生。可是不能這樣乾,因為下麵有龐大市政管網,猶如城市的神經係統。神經係統下麵是更龐大的地鐵係統。地鐵下麵還有未知的軍防設施,再下麵,可能還蘊藏著一座文物古城...
