With an engaging wit familiar to his readers, Iain Sinclair focuses on the vast stretch of urban settlement bounded by the M25, the road that encircles London. Against dramatic smoke-filled skies he chronicles a series of epic walks, accompanied by simpatico friends and encountering such denizens of this demimonde as J. G. Ballard.

The show at the Barbican with Cauty, Drummond, the Wire, and a cardboard cutout of JG Ballard was brilliant too.
