'The place where I live is called Greater London. To get to the London which isn't so great you have to board a tube train which goes on a twenty minute journey above ground till you come to a station called Baron's Court...At that point, where the train first goes into the tunnel, you are leaving Greater London, where the natives starve themselves to buy a new car...and enter the manor of the real London'.

The hero of this novel, a shocking engaging teenage refugee from Greater London, recounts his experiences of the real London. Here he joins a Spiritualist group where he finds a woman who supervises his initiation into more earthly mysteries. A meeting in a jazz club leads him into partnership with a dope peddlar. From then on things begin to move fast-too fast...
