When I am sad and weary
When I think all hope has gone
When I walk along High Holborn
I think of you with nothing on
Never again will you walk down High Holborn (or meet someone called Celia) without thinking of this wonderful poem!
Adrian Mitchell has mapped Holborn for all time in poetic geography. Of course the Poetry Atlas has many other poems about the area around Holborn, including poems about the British Museum, just a few yards from High Holborn.
There are also many poems about London, one of the best-mapped cities in the world by poetic cartographers.
