David Nicholls warns readers against trying to visit novel’s locations

Bestselling writer says Lake District sites in new book You Are Here are genuinely all made up'

David Nicholls has warned his fans not to attempt to visit the locations in his new novel. While those who loved the hit Netflix adaptation of Nicholls' novel One Day have been able to visit locations from the series, such as the Lewisham pizza joint Bella Roma or Charlton Lido, the locations in You Are Here are genuinely all made up", the author said.

The novel, which was published last month and follows a midlife couple as they hike through the Lake District, contain a disclaimer from the author explaining that while he has tried to describe the landscape as accurately as possible, the pubs, hotels and restaurants along the way are all entirely fictional", and he has also taken a few small liberties with the route".
