Landmark. It was a slum. Seven dials is a landmark. Holburn arch is a landmark. The rookery was like the tenderloin, which a cop told me to 180 out of after 5pm.


Surprising that it doesn't go on to mention Charing Cross Road - it was putting Charing Cross Road through that was largely the death knell to the slums and crime of the area.
