Eastwick (Metroland)
Eastwick was a fictional suburb on the outer reaches of the London Underground’s Metropolitan line in Julian Barnes’ novel ''Metroland''. This book, written in 1980, recalled adolescence in the early 1960s.
==Features of Eastwick==
At school in the City, to which he travelled daily by train, Christopher Lloyd, the subject of ''Metroland'', made it known during French lessons that he lived in "Metro-land" because that sounded better than Eastwick and stranger than Middlesex (which was still an administrative county in 1961).
Christopher noted that some of the other commuters from Eastwick – "old fuggers" as he called them – were creatures of habit (favourite compartments, favourite seats); that the orange street lights on the way home from the station made red appear brown; and that, on Sundays ("the day for which Metroland was created"), the trains appeared to clatter into Eastwick more loudly than usual.
