I have long been fascinated by both the tale of Victorian bogeyman Spring-heeled Jack and also the mysterious Devil’s Footprints. In this video I get to tell the tale of both. What’s more, we’re in the company of Dr Stephen King who guides up across Clapham Common, visiting the Deep Level Shelter, the Bandstand, the Metropolitan Drinking Fountain and more.
