'A lyrical meditation on landscapes and cities, vivid reportage and
a memoir. And also a beautifully realised and moving read.'
Financial Times 'A beguiling mix of history, geology, folklore and
memoir that captivated me from the first page.' Lara Maiklem,
author of Mudlarking 'Tom Chivers brings a poet's sensibility to
this book about the hidden parts of the capital, mixing the past
with the present, the known with the unknown and his personal story
with social history and geology.' Bernardine Evaristo, author of
Girl, Woman, Other What secrets lie beneath a city? Tom Chivers
follows hidden pathways, explores lost islands and uncovers the
geological mysteries that burst up through the pavement and bubble
to the surface of our streets. From Roman ruins to a submerged
playhouse, from an abandoned Tube station to underground rivers,
Chivers leads us on a journey into the depths of the city he loves.
A lyrical interrogation of a capital city, a landscape and our
connection to place, London Clay celebrates urban edgelands:
in-between spaces where the natural world and the metropolis
collide. Through a combination of historical research, vivid
reportage and personal memoir, it will transform how you see
London, and cities everywhere. 'Tom Chivers, with the forensic eye
of an investigator, the soul of a poet, is an engaging presence; a
guide we would do well to follow.' Iain Sinclair, author of The
Last London
