Podcast appearance: Ladies Who London

February 3, 2025 by Anna Sayburn Lane

I’m a big fan of London’s tour guides, so I was thrilled to be invited to be a guest on the Ladies Who London podcast, hosted by Blue Badge tour guides Alex and Fiona. The podcast takes a fun and informal look at people and places from London’s rich history.

They asked me on to talk about walking the Capital Ring, a round-London walking route which will be the focus of this year’s Refugee Tales project. I’ve been involved with this walking and storytelling project since 2017. We walk for five days each July in solidarity with people who’ve experienced immigration detention. This year we are holding a Festival of Walking at the same time, with arts events, film screenings, music and theatre as we walk our way around London.

I also managed to slip in a bit of chat about how London has inspired my books, from the first novel Unlawful Things to my more recent 1920s murder mysteries. Find out more here.

Dead Men in Deptford: an audio-tour of Deptford’s Literary History

April 7, 2022 by Anna Sayburn Lane

I had a great time recording an audio-tour, Dead Men in Deptford, to celebrate Deptford Literature Festival in March 2022. The tour takes in local literary types from Christopher Marlowe to Charles Dickens, diarists Samuel Pepys and John Evelyn, Joseph Conrad and Anthony Burgess.

The tour is still online, so you can listen in, download the map and transcript, and visit yourself – or just listen in and imagine the scenery!

Includes tips on writing in lockdown, becoming a journalist, and how not to give up on your novel during eight years of writing!
