Gangs of London

National Geographic: Inside

S02E13
August 17, 2008 60 min

Overview

When London turns hip in the Swinging 60s, a new type of villain takes center stage: the English Mobster. Murderous twins Ron and Reg Kray square off against their South London rivals; the Richardsons. When they are finally jailed, gangland plunges into chaos as gangsters turn informant. Filling in the vacuum, a younger generation begins muscling in during the early 80s, and cockney villains regroup to plan the worlds biggest armed robberies. Interviews include ex-Richardson gang enforcer Mad Frankie Fraser; former armed robber and Kray associate Freddie Foreman; ex-armed robber Bernie Khan; and Metropolitan Police veteran Tony Lundy - supergrass informant handler.
