This was a pleasant trip along the bus route Sandi Toksvig often takes in London, with some information about the history of the area it travels through combined with reminiscences of her own very full life and the people and places and events that have been part of it.

I very much enjoyed it and it was a great reminder of how much I enjoy seeing Sandi Toksvig on TV or listening to her on radio or podcast.

I really enjoyed listening to this. It’s part travel writing, part history, part autobiography, part feminist politics, part love letter to London. Loved it.

We listened to this as an audiobook on a weekend away. Having Sandi in the car with us has been a delight. Her stories about London and it’s people interspersed with stories of her life. Charming.

Phenomenal. Sandi is witty, insightful, delightfully tangential, and overall a fantastic writer. She successfully combines her surroundings on the 12 bus route with autobiography, anecdotes, and witticisms. Able to make heartfelt interrogation into how she feels she was formed as a person, Sandi invites the reader to examine their own lives, gently and with good humour. I rarely write reviews on this site, so, dear reader, please know that this was a really, REALLY great book.
