All three authors have set their fictions in a non-fictional place, London. Each writing about the London that they know, in order to give their characters details, and actual places in which to live, work & play. By picking out the geographic details of each novel it is possible to construct a map of the London each inhabits. Showing the ways the city has provided a changing backdrop, across the centuries.
"I made the best of my way to Fleet Street, and there got a late hackney chariot and drove to the Hummums in Covent Garden."
"She looked up Fleet Street. She walked just a little way towards St. Paul's, shyly, like some one penetrating on tiptoe,"
"Summer of 1955 Archie went to Fleet Street with his best winkle-pickers on, looking for work as a war correspondent."
