		Murder One (one of the main genre bookshops); is up CC Road under a block of modern flats or something, and as Richard says, it isn't far from Soho, where such drunken luminaries as Dylan Thomas used to hang out.
		My impression of CC Road as a non-metropolitan is that the traffic is as hazardous as London usually gets and is especially bad because the pavements are quite narrow in places.
		And the streets around Centre Point and that whole crossing area are possibly the filthiest in the city, seems like a thousand years of fast food and dead pigeons have been ground into the paving stones.
