In Between the Lines: The Pub in The Diamond Rush

The Diamond Rush, my first novel, has built up a cult following since being published in 2012. And by cult I mean small, niche.

The early drafts of the Money Star were written while I lived in a flat above a pub on Leather Lane, the next road west from Hatton Garden.

And it's on Hatton Garden, down an alleyway that you could easily walk past if you didn't know it was there, that this gem of a pub can be found if you look closely enough.

Here's the view from the street.

You can see why this place is easily missed.

It's the last place on Earth that The Diamond Rush hero Sye Remnant enjoys a pint.

Does he ever make it back and reunite with landlord Gordon and best mate Edgar?

Don't ask me. I only wrote the thing.

Jon Lymon did indeed write The Diamond Rush, and cordially invites you to discover more about it here.
