Lionel Shriver, author of We Need to Talk About Kevin and The Mandibles, is the first author to feature in our new series, Tales for London. Her story, The Piccadilly Predicament, is about a young woman who has a spot of bother on her way to Heathrow airport.

Underground: Tales for London features original short stories by London-loving authors from across the world. Each story, written by a Borough Press author, will be available to Evening Standard readers as a free podcast, from standard.co.uk
