Editing Neverwhere (section)

== Plot ==
Richard Mayhew, a Scottish man living in London, encounters an injured girl named Door on the street one night. Despite his fiancée's protests he decides to help her; upon doing so he ceases to exist on Earth and becomes real only to the denizens of "London Below", whose inhabitants are generally invisible and non-existent to the people of "London Above". He loses his [[Apartment|flat]], his job, and nearly his mind as he travels London Below in an attempt to make sense out of it all, find a way back, and help Door survive as she is hunted down by hired assassins.

In London Below the various familiar names of London all take on a new significance: for example [[Knightsbridge]] becomes "Night's Bridge", a stone bridge whose darkness takes its toll in human life; [[The Angel, Islington]] is an actual angel. London Below is a parallel world in and beneath the sewers. Its inhabitants are the homeless, but also people from other times, such as [[Roman legion]]aries and medieval monks, as well as fictional and fantastical characters.
