This ingenious new book is an account of the ascent of Mount London by a hardened team of writers, poets and urban cartographers, each one scaling a smaller mountain within the city - from Crystal Palace (112m) to Primrose Hill (78m) - until the accumulative climb exceeds the height of Ben Nevis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso available as an eBook here.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe essays and stories in Mount London unpeel London's history, geography and psychogeography, reimagining the city as mountainous terrain and exploring what it's like to move through the urban landscape. Ascents of London's natural peaks are offset by expeditions to the artificial mountains of the city - the Shard (306m), the chimneys of Battersea Power Station (103m) - and the search for 'ghost hills' in the back streets of Whitechapel and Finsbury.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMount London\u003c\/strong\u003e is a unique and visionary record of the vertical city.
