London, more than any other city, has a secret history hidden from view. Behind the official façade promoted by the heritage industry lies a city of esoteric traditions, obscure institutions, and forgotten locations. Occult London rediscovers this history, unearthing the Hidden city that lies beneath the known, from the Elizabethan magic of Dr. Dee and Simon Forman to the Occult designs of Wren and Hawksmoor; from the Victorian London of Spring-Heeled Jack to the fin de siècle heyday of Madame Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley. This book describes these practitioners of the occult, alongside the myths and legends through which the city has always been perceived. The role of the Occult within London's literary history is also outlined, while a Gazetteer maps the sites of the most resonant Occult locations. Merlin Coverley also examines the roots of a current revival of Occult interest.
