Travis Elborough

‘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!’

‘Iain Sinclair is a compulsive London walker who files reports, from time to time, as books, films or talks. For his recent project, published by Hamish Hamilton as ‘London Overground’, he tramped the orbital circuit of the Ginger Line, in company with the filmmaker Andrew Kötting, in a single day. And in the process discovered much that was new about the city of his imagination.

Iain Sinclair will be introduced by freelance writer, author and cultural commentator Travis Elborough, who is currently the Chisenhale Gallery Victoria Park Residency artist for 2014-15.’
