Iain Sinclair explores modern London through a day's hike around the London Over
ground route. The completion of the full circle of London Overground provides Ia
in Sinclair with a new path to walk the shifting territory of the capital. With
thirty-three stations and thirty-five miles to tramp - and inevitable and unfore
seen detours and false steps - he embarks on a marathon circumnavigation at stre
et level, tracking the necklace of garages, fish farms, bakeries, convenience ca
fes, cycle repair shops and Minder lock-ups which enclose inner London.
