The Real England is a concise, direct, and not-so-gentle window into the depths of the leftovers of the world’s once greatest empire. It is told from the perspective of one lone (or not so lone) long term visitor. It informs one of the dregs of the country and helps to explain quaint British oddities such as the crack addicted chav.

Combining the natural style of the wonderful Hardy with scenes from ‘my’ part of old London is just complete joy for me. But I’m sure you knew that. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete. x
