A literary walk around Waterloo exploring locations that feature in novels from Victorian times to the present day.
Join Sue in a walk that explores the Waterloo of historical fiction. Tracy Chevalier’s Burning Bright brings William Blake’s Lambeth to life, Michael Sadleir’s Forlorn Sunset and Renton Nicholson’s Dombey and Daughter explore its seamier side in Victorian times, while for Sam Selvon’s Lonely Londoners of the 1940s, the station is a place of nostalgia. Above all, it is a place of arrival and departure.
