About the book
Circling London on foot, he explores the edgelands where urban sprawl meets countryside, uncovering a hidden world of retail parks, film locations, forgotten villages, and the psychogeography of the capital's margins. Part travelogue, part cultural investigation, this extraordinary expedition reveals the M25 as more than mere tarmac—it's a revealing portrait of modern Britain. Sinclair's trademark blend of history, politics, and poetic observation creates a compelling meditation on place, memory, and the forces shaping contemporary landscape. Essential reading for anyone fascinated by walking, urban exploration, or understanding the often-overlooked spaces that define our relationship with place.
