Nairn's London by Routemaster

We'll be travelling around the East End and the City on the very same Routemaster bus (CUV 217C) featured on the original cover of Nairn's London (Penguin Books, 1966) with the author pictured at the wheel.

Ticket price includes all admissions, perambulations and access to events at the final venue.

The tour will end at around 4:30pm in a wonderful central London location and will feature:

* Professor Gavin Stamp, the distinguished architectural historian, who will talk about the author and his work.

* Gillian Darley and David McKie, co-authors of Ian Nairn: Words in Place(Five Leaves Press, 2013)

* Travis Elborough, author of The Bus We Loved: London's Affair With the Routemaster (Granta Books, 2005)

* Simon Okotie will be reading from Whatever Happened to Harold Absalon? (Salt Publishing, 2012), an existential whodunnit set entirely on a bus.

Finally Ian Nairn himself will appear on screen in one of his BBC broadcasts from the 1970s.

Nairn's London (with a new introduction by Gavin Stamp) and other books by our speakers will be on sale.
