The circle is forming

Work continues on the Circle Line project. The book ‘From Here To Here’ is printed and will be in the shops soon. It was on the presses when the bombers struck London on 7 July. Fortunately we were just able to add a paragraph of dedication, explaining that the book had been written before the bombings. Some of the chapters have an added poignancy in the light of the events. The book itself is a great read, a celebration of London’s diversity through the writing of 31 authors and a photographer who are all members of 26, each responding to different places in London. Our thanks to all who took part. (See the book offer.)

As well as the book, watch out for ‘From Here To Here’ posters appearing on the Circle Line from 8 September onwards. The posters, based on each of the Circle Line stations, have been created by teams of 26 writers and design students from the London College of Communications. The posters are part of London Underground’s Platform for Art.

And get along if you can to the ‘From Here To Here’ exhibition at the London College of Communications, Elephant & Castle, from 15 September. A big exhibition, featuring the work of our writers and designers, one of the highlights of this year’s London Design Festival.
