WELCOME

London is the grandest and most complicated monster on the face of the earth.
(Felix Mendelssohn, 1829)

For centuries, writers, artists and intellectuals have come to London from
across Europe and beyond – as honoured guests and anonymous aliens; tourists and
refugees; students and wanderers.
   
In the squalid slums of the East End, in the glitter and glamour of Belgravia,
in the unspoilt expanse of Hampstead Heath, these writers lose – and find –
themselves. Their encounters with the city leave a mark: on the writer, on their
work and, sometimes, on London itself. 

This interactive map uncovers these literary traces, revealing London and a
Europe of the imagination. It encourages us to reflect – critically or
playfully – on the role of the city as a place where journeys and languages
intersect; where people and cultures meet and are transformed.

Explore by theme, by language, by free word search, or (soon) by genre or
historical period.
