A celebration in short stories of what makes London the city it is: the landmarks are there but it is the people who make the city, and the stories, work.
Irreverent, dark, laugh out loud, London Lies is a roller coaster of a book with as many faces as the City it describes.
But when all is said and done, every one of the authors is a liar...
From the mean streets of Hackney to sleepy South London suburbs, from boho Bloomsbury to City wine bars, London Lies is a tour of the capital as you've never seen it before. What happens when a girl on her way to work is propositioned by a frog? When a man breaks into London Zoo to fight a hippo? When nuclear bombs fall on a future London, when the rats rise up to rule us or - most terrifying of all - when Scrabble goes bad?
Moving from 1930s Camden to a Royal Wedding "riot", via football fights, office steeplechases and awkward dates in art galleries London Lies is a bizarre, funny, moving and sometimes unnerving glimpse into the secret life of the city we all love and know - or do we?
