by Owen Hatherley
(Repeater Books, £10.99)
FOR anyone who’s lived in London during the last 50 years and especially if you’ve taken an interest in its politics Owen Hatherley’s book is unputdownable. He knows his stuff and writes so fluently that he’s made what could be a very dry subject into a page-turner.  
A book about much more than the title suggests, it’s also an attempt to understand the Labour Party’s crushing December 2019 defeat and suggest some ways for the left to reform, in part inspired by London’s radical tradition.   
Hatherley charts the evolution of pan-London governance from the 1889 founding of the London County Council (LCC), through the creation of the Greater London Council (GLC) in 1964 and its spiteful abolition by Margaret Thatcher in 1986 to its post-2000 incarnation as the Greater London Authority (GLA) with a directly elected mayor.   ....
