A living history of London told through a long day's hike around the London Overground route, by Britain's master psychogeographer

Echoing his journey in London Orbital over a decade ago, Iain Sinclair narrates his second circular walk around the capital. Shortly after rush-hour and accompanied by a rambling companion, Sinclair begins walking along London's Overground network, or, 'Ginger Line'. With characteristic playfulness, detours into folk history, withering assessments of the political classes and a joyful allegiance to the ordinary oddball, Sinclair guides us on a tour of London's trendiest new transport network - and shows the shifting, changing city from new and surprising angles.

Praise for London Overground

He is incapable of writing a dull paragraph

Scotland on Sunday

If you are drawn to English that doesn't just sing, but sings the blues and does scat and rocks the joint, try Sinclair. His sentences deliver a rush like no one else's

Washington Post

Sinclair breathes wondrous life into monstrous, man-made landscapes

Times Literary Supplement
