Chapters featuring "King William Street"

Up the Junction!

Hunting for the Thundersley – not to mention its occupier – the ladies are led on several terrifying missions into the dark dank underworld of Borough and London Bridge. What does “under the royal something grows” actually mean? And will anyone live to tell the tale…

Down the Tubes

With the monstrous form of Aunt Enid ensconced in the abandoned King William Street tube station, the ladies are forced into taking desperate action to extract her. After the damage inflicted by the Peanut Brittle, will the Northern Line ever be the same again? (And more to the point, will anyone notice?)

Words of Wisdom
