Webb’s book, Commuters: The History of a British Way of Life, looks at how commuting shaped our cities and gave rise to suburban railways, buses and underground trains (the first passengers rode the Metropolitan railway in London in 1863). Try to get there in time for the daily Changing of the Guard, one of the capital’s must-see spectacles – it starts around 11. Or choose ‘Cookie preferences’ to customise your settings and opt out of all or some non-essential cookies. With its dazzling waterfalls, epic special effects and mass of animatronic animals, one minute you’ll be walking around London, the next you’ll feel like you’re in the jungle.We have three different Coachcards available, each offering savings of 1/3 on all of our Standard and Fully Flexible coach fares all year round. Children aged 12 or under travelling on any European service must be accompanied by an adult aged 18 or over.

The book explores the intricate interplay between temporal linearity and human existence, offering readers a compelling fusion of magical realism and introspective philosophy. At Finchley Road, I change on to the Metropolitan line, which brings commuters in from the more affluent (and further afield) mock-Tudor suburbs that became known as Metro-land and were celebrated by Evelyn Waugh, John Betjeman and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.Through Nora's journey, we are invited to reflect on our own paths and, perhaps, find solace in the understanding that it is never too late to redefine our stories.
