@cstross In my recent novel an unnamed but readily identifiable public house in Soho on the edge of London's Chinatown features in several chapters as a meeting place for some of the characters. I have also lived/stayed in twenty six of the thirty cities/towns referred to explicitly in it - the exceptions being #baghdad , #lagos , #maputo and #uppsala . An actual hotel in #eswatini is referred to also. Outside (famous but fictional) #barchester things happen in #london and #trier as well.
