Henry Wilson

Henry Wilson arrived in London in a Ford Cortina by way of the South Circular. The Mark IV was stolen within the year (abandoned in Leytonstone and duly cannibalised) and Henry left the longueurs of Herne Hill and Clapham for NW6. Having spent years planning an expedition to discover the source of the River Brent, only to find that Wikipedia had got there first (and in some detail), he is now considering whether the opening of the London Overground link from Surrey Quays to Clapham, in the year that de Coubertin’s rings were displayed across the capital, completes London’s fifth circle of Hell.
