"An invaluable and informed super-tour by the Cobbett of YouTube. As immediately readable and engrossing as a Rogers film. Let it devour you.” — Iain Sinclair
"John Rogers has been one of the most prominent psychogeographical writers and filmmakers of the last decade. His work is a vital component and documentation of a city still in a phase of hyper-development and gentrification.” — Adam Scovell, Celluloid Wickerman
"...the walks off the beaten path navigated at the edges of the city navigated by John Rogers in This Other London are rich with surprises. Rogers conjures up magical little worlds that we would otherwise pass by.” — Metro
