Writing London

Writing London in a series of City Map/Guides from Herb Lester Associates, a witty and imaginatively selected alternative to the usual lists of addresses where various writers lived in London. Some “so-and-so lived here” addresses are included but you will also find references to places where Homes first met Dr Watson, Bow Street Magistrates Court where Oscar Wilde was charged, or the location of John Le Carre’s Circus. Locations of the guide’s 70 entries are roughly indicated by drawings of the relevant buildings, etc.

Maps in this series are an eclectic selection of quirky titles designed to illuminate particular aspects of a city or a district. Each title lists publishers’ recommendations, ranging from the already famous attractions to little gems known only to the well informed locals, all with brief descriptions and, where appropriate, contact details.

Accompanying maps are designed to highlight the locations of the recommended places rather than to provide an accurate presentation of the street network.
