From Here to Here
Stories inspired by London’s Circle Line
Edited by John Simmons, Neil Taylor, Tim Rich & Tom Lynham
An alternative guide to the heart of London for those who know London well and
for those who might not. Simon Armitage, Martin Gorst and Ian Marchant
contribute pieces.
Notting Hill, Baker Street, King’s Cross, Westminster…the Circle Line transports
us to and from many of London’s most famous places, as well as some of its
obscure corners (Temple, Euston Road, Aldgate). The 31 chapters of this book,
each by a different writer, explore the territory around the Circle Line’s
stations and the network that connects them. Through fiction, poetry, memoir and
reportage, they bring to life the extraordinary spirit of this complex,
demanding, inspiring city.
From Here to Here is a vibrant exploration of a place rich in stories and
history, and teeming with plots and characters. It’s the perfect companion for
any journey, but especially one underground.
“Brace and be brisk, commoner, carry your heart like an egg on a spoon, be fleet
through the concourse”
- From KX by Simon Armitage (King’s Cross)
“There’s some great writing here, and you’ll be surprised to discover a much
deeper level to the London you thought you knew.”
Ed Docx, author of The Calligrapher
