Welcome to Murder Mile, a true crime podcast, an audio-guided walk, featuring many of London's

untold, unsolved and long-forgotten murders, all set within and beyond the West End.

Today's episode is about Joe Ghanain, a drug addict. It's hard to say any more as drugs

consumed his world. But when this hopeless junkie took a life, the law would ask a very valid question.

Who was responsible for the murder? Was it Joe's fault or his drugs?

Murder Marley's researched using authentic sources.

It contains moments of satire, shock and grisly details. And as a dramatization of the real events,

it may also feature loud and realistic sounds, so that no matter where you listen to this podcast,

you'll feel like you're actually there.

One street southeast of the bombing of the Admiral Duncan Pub,

southeast of the collapse of the Porn King, coming soon to Murder Mile.

being a four-story, Grade 2 Victorian Cornerhouse, with white walls, an iconic red flash, and the ground floor

chock full of original features, like red steel pillars, tobacco-stained tiles, heavy wooden doors,

and the old Taylor Walker lanterns. Made famous by the play, Geoffrey Bernardism Well, Norman, one of London's rudest landlords.

And it is said, the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson to write the strange case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

The Cochin Horses is a wonderfully honest old man's boozer, where you can sup a decent pint
