3 Magical Novels Set in London
Missing the enchantment of trying to force yourself onto Platform 9 ¾ during a visit to King’s Cross Station? Read on to see how you can rediscover getting lost in the magic, a feeling only the UK’s capital can provide.
With the past year or so putting a, ahem, pause on the idea of hopping on a train and exploring London, we’ve turned our attention to books set in the historical and sprawling capital city to provide our fix of adventure and immersion — without the charming smells of the Bakerloo Line filling our lungs.
Whether you’re someone who enjoys dining at the Ritz before seeing a show, a thrillseeker bungee jumping from the top of Shard, or even just a West Ham fan who never misses a home game — hopefully these fantastical and spellbinding books will be able to fill the Big Ben shaped hole in your heart.
So pick up one of these novels, and escape with me to the city of London whilst we anxiously await for the real thing to re-open once again.
