When I cross the river, the sword that divides me from pleasure and money, I go North. That is, I take the Northern Line 'up West', as we say: that is, to the West End. My London consists of all the stations on the Northern Line, but don't think I scare easily: I have known the free and easy slap-and-tickle of Soho since toddlerhood ... nothing between Morden and Camden Town holds terror for me - Angela Carter
The clue is in the name: the London Review of Books has never been anything other than Bloomsbury-based, and though its outlook remains as international as ever, after 46 years you come to know a few things about your own patch. This year's LRB Diary duly takes an alphabetical tour, week by week, through 52 subjects indelibly inked into the capital's literary (and not so literary) past, present and future, via the magazine's archive. From Ackroyd to Zadie, carnival to cottaging, gentrification to the Great Stink, Keats to the Krays, Wren to Windrush.
About the LRB Diary: Reinventing itself with a completely new theme and original artwork each year, and charged with the same elegance and irreverence as the magazine, the LRB Diary has become a must-have stationary status symbol for passionate readers in the UK and beyond. A weekly planner both packed full of useful features and possessed by the spirit of literary genius, the LRB Diary for 2025 follows on from bestselling Alan Bennett- and Kafka-themed editions in 2023 and 2024.
