Do Not Pass Go by Tim Moore


		'Moore is a talented and very funny writer' Daily Telegraph Acclaimed comic writer, Tim Moore travels through the best and the worst that the city of London has to offer. He will stay in a hotel in the Old Kent Road and Mayfair; visit Pentonville prison; search for Free Parking; contemplate how the grotty cul-de-sac that is Vine Street made it onto the board; visit The Angel, Islington - which isn't a road at all but a pub and who knows, along the way, he could even win second prize in a beauty contest.
