THE SECRET HISTORY OF OUR STREETS: LONDON by Joseph Bullman, Neil Hegarty and Brian Hill (BBC, £20) AS John Lanchester has shown with his new novel Capital, it's in some ways easier to tell the story of a city through one street rather than by surveying a whole area. The makers of a new six-part series (starting 8pm, BBC 2, June 6), which forms the basis of this book, have taken the same line by presenting a portrait of London through the stories of the buildings and inhabitants of six individual streets over the past 130 years. Their role model is not Lanchester but Charles Booth, a Victorian social researcher who undertook a monumental 17-volume study, called Life and Labour of the People in London. Reverdy Road in Bermondsey lost six of its houses in the Second World War and remains predominantly white working class while Deptford High Street has changed so much that of its 12 original pubs, only two remain. Gangs fought regular turf wars in the streets around Arnold Circus in Shoreditch, while Caledonian Road evolved from a thoroughfare for cows to becoming one of the IRA's safe house hot spots. Notting Hill's Portland Road has the wealthiest five per cent and the poorest five per cent of the population living at opposite ends of the street while Camberwell Grove gets more gentrified as its conservation borders expand. The book is packed with odd facts but the most glaringly obvious is that we are all just passing through. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

IT WAS a warm afternoon as the ice cream van pulled up onto Angell Town estate, announcing its arrival with an exuberant burst of music. The driver opened his shutter for business. But there was no patter of small feet. Nobody came. Not a single child. A police car tore through the estate, siren wailing. But as the ice cream van trundled away defeated, and the siren receded, the streets fell preternaturally silent. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

The new police crime map of London has been reminding me of something else: the 1889 London poverty map compiled by Charles Booth. Many of the same places 121 years ago were notoriously rowdy. But then deprivation was severe, whereas today's crime is likely to be drink or drug-fuelled, or gang-related, and well-funded. Some areas that were dodgy then are dodgy now - but genuine hardship is not the reason why. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

In 1991 the Tate Gallery director Nicholas Serota called a meeting to discuss the problem of how to get newspapers to take contemporary art more seriously. One of the invited guests was 28-year-old Jay Jopling, then a fledgling dealer who was already known for his chutzpah in brokering sales between young artists, such as Marc Quinn and Damien Hirst, and the ad mogul turned collector Charles Saatchi.

THERE'S a cheekiness to Lord Adebowale. When the crossbench peer sees my spiketoed trainers, he inquires: "Are they for running or for kicking people?" Later, he teases me about my (long lost) sarf London accent. Then, when I ask about his induction to the House of Lords, he turns it on me: "I'm assuming when you started your job, you had an induction?" I shake my head. "No? Just here's a pen, get on with it? That explains a lot." [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

EVEN estate agent euphemism — the kind that dresses up roads ridden with crack dens as "up-and-coming" — can sometimes run out of bombast. After I inquired about a suspiciously cheap house this week, Mr Foxtons told me he wouldn't "sugarcoat" the situation. There was a "protected" tenant living on its ground floor. If we bought the property, we'd have to petition the council to get him moved. "But," he added, a little too breezily, "you'd be doing him a favour." [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]

LIFE expectancy in parts of London is comparable to Guatemala. That was the shock finding of Professor Sir Michael Marmot's study of public health in the capital, as revealed in yesterday's Standard. Equally unnerving were the disparities within London — with Kensington women looking forward to 92 years of life, compared with 76 years in Southwark. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
