22 Duncan Terrace in Islington was Douglas Adams’ home during the height of *The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy*’s success. He moved here in the early 1980s, after the series had become a cultural phenomenon, and it remains the address most closely associated with his London years of fame and creative expansion.

This Georgian townhouse was where Adams wrote much of *So Long, and Thanks for All the Fish* and *Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency*. Friends recall late-night writing marathons, the hum of computers, and rooms piled high with books, scripts, and technology. Adams was one of the earliest writers to embrace digital tools — there are stories of him experimenting with early word processors here, decades before they became common.
