Memo mori is a journey through Hackney tracing loss and disappearance. A canoe trip along the canal, the huts of the Manor Garden allotments in Hackney Wick, demolition, relocation, a magical bus tour through the Olympic park and a Hell's Angel funeral mark a seismic shift in the topography of East London.

With commentary and readings from Hackney, That Red Rose Empire by Iain Sinclair

Hackney, That Red Rose Empire by Iain Sinclair is published by Hamish Hamilton.
