‘3. Wish You Were Here
By Travis Elborough (Hodder & Stoughton, £8.99)Travis Elborough grew up in Worthing, a standard seaside town in West Sussex, and he makes a brilliant tour guide of the British seaside. Wish You Were Here takes in the fun that can be had with an ice cream and a pebble beach, windswept seaside nostalgia and the idea that the coast is often a place for those left on the fringes of society. Thoughtful and entertaining.’

‘On this night it will be exactly 10 years since the last Routemaster bus slid into the omnibus Valhalla that is Brixton garage. Tonight Londonist celebrates and commiserates with a night of public-transport comedy and spoken-word with writers Travis Elborough and Scott Wood and Londonist’s very own transport maniac Geoff Marshall. Learn the secrets of the London Underground, strange tales from the tube and the cultural history of the boss of buses: the Routemaster!’
