The City Over The Water
It’s London but not as you know it. Welcome to the south, the Surrey Shore, the Sunny Side. Get on a bus, go Transpontine and immerse yourself in some of the stories of the city over the water.
South London is Britain’s second largest city held together by shared geography and buses. The bus stories are set on, linked by or alongside some of these bus routes. The collection of park stories set in or around south London's open spaces, parks and commons.
​​
Inside the bus book you’ll find angels, cyborgs, pirates and terrorists. There are shapeshifters, London folk demons and vengeful goddesses but also stories of love, friendship, growing up and revenge. The parks contain mermaids searching for a mate, a toilet goddess, erotic lay lines, ghosts of sex workers and music hall performers.
The whole world is here in the City Over The Water.
