London Orbital: A Walk Around The M25

Encircling London like a noose, the M25 is a road to nowhere, but when Iain Sinclair sets out to walk this asphalt loop ‘“ keeping within the ‘˜acoustic footprints’™ ‘“ he is determined to find out where the journey will lead him. Stumbling upon converted asylums, industrial and retail parks, ring-fenced government institutions and lost villages, Sinclair discovers a Britain of the fringes, a landscape consumed by developers. London Orbital charts this extraordinary trek and round trip of the soul, revealing the country as you’™ve never seen it before.”A magnum opus, my book of the year. I urge you to read it. In fact, if you`re a Londoner and haven`t read it by the end of next year, I suggest you leave”Will Self, Evening Standard `Books of the Year 2003`
