When one of its most feared gangsters got his comeuppance haven't been gunned down in a dingy basement.

He was so hated and despised that his death was covered up to protect

his attacker. But who was Amabil Rika and what was the truth? Maudemarle is researched using the

My name is Michael. I am your tour guide, and this is Murder Mile.

Episode 94, The Terror of Maltese London.

Today, I'm standing on Carlisle Street in Soho, W1.

One road east of the Blackout Ripper's second victim, Evelyn Oatley.

One street north of the Mafia hit on Alfredo's Umbrelli,

three roads south of the Charlotte Street robbery,

a few doors up from the chronic Canadian masturbator Richard Rhodes Henley,

and just a few streets from the home of the final victim of one of Britain's most terrifying serial killers.

Coming soon to murder mile.

Carlisle Street sits at the top of Dean Street. It's a tiny side street, barely 100 feet long,

with a dead end to the left, Soho Square to the right, Old Compton Street below, and the Tottencourt Road exit of the Elizabeth line above.

Even though it's nowhere near Tottenham Court Road and is actually on Oxford Street.

But hey, don't plan as just love confusing the tourists.

This street has all the essentials that any aspiring Soho resident would ever need.
