Dear Forum, 

I'm trying to discover whether at any time VN lived in London. If so, where? I presume at Cambridge he made trips down but can anyone shed any light on whether he rented a flat there? 

On a side note, I am from Richmond, London and used to live a two minute walk from Kew Gardens and always receive a special delight when Kew Gardens is referenced in The Real Life of Sebastian Knight. 

"They must have been seen wandering in Kew Gardens, or Richmond Park (personally I have never been there but the names attract me)."

With best wishes, 

James Veitch
