Notting Hill was not always an upmarket residential enclave and celebrity hotspot. Streets of Sin delves into the districts murky past and relates the deplorable scandals and shocking crimes that blighted the area from its development until the late twentieth century.

She reveals what life was like in Rotting Hill during its dark years when murder, extortion and disorder were everyday occurrences, and explores the price its residents have had to pay to climb up out of the ghetto.
