Just got done reading Gallows thief and I couldn’t help how London in the 19th century bears quite a resemblance to modern cities particularly in the US and my home town of Los Angeles. I was wondering Have you ever been to LA before? I think it may prove inspiring for similar stories. At least we have welfare here. Drury lane and The wheatsheaf tavern sounds a lot like 6th and San Julian and the Weingart Cafe and Rider Sandman reminds me of an army veteran who plays 3on3 Basketball at Gladys park.
