Curated by the London Literary Project, The London Clock is an online collection of poetry and flash fiction, all set at a particular time of day in a particular part of London.
London is such an easy city to write about, and is perfect for a project like this; full of hidden nooks and crannies, each vastly different from each other, and with so much going on at different times of day. There's something magical about walking through Soho early on a weekday morning as the city is slowly waking up, and about being by the river late at night, seeing the lights sparkling on the water while everyone else is asleep. Rush hour at Victoria station is a little less magical, perhaps, but no less memorable, and there are a thousand other tiny moments which make London unique.
It's a brilliant idea for a project - so simple, yet so perfect, and I've really enjoyed reading some of the entries. You can submit here, and read my contribution here.
