Praise for Paul's previous books:
‘The book is a belter. What we call in my house a Velvet Underground - a great Loo Read’ Paul Ross - BBC London
‘Talling has managed to show another side to the capital, one of abandoned buildings that somehow retain a sense of beauty.’ - Metro
‘Excellent . . . As much as it is an inadvertent vision of how London might look after a catastrophe, DERELICT LONDON is valuable as a document of the one going on right in front of us.’ - New Statesman
