Travel Guide
Visit Swindon
Due to the links Swindon has to the novels, Jasper Fjorde explains that the
Swindon Town Planning office got in touch with him back in around 2007 and asked if he would mind having a few of the streets of the city named after his characters. Of course he said no, and from that moment on, Swindon became a very special city on the literary map.
Nextian Estate
Imagine living on a street named after a literary character, or to be the author whose characters are immortalised in this way?
If wandering around to see these streets, be very aware that these are residential streets and that real people live there, not the characters in your imagination.
