Adams lived nearby during the years when he wrote the original radio series and novels. The area around the Green — including Upper Street, Camden Passage, and Pizza Express — was his daily orbit. It’s easy to imagine him walking here with a notebook, plotting the fate of Arthur Dent and Ford Prefect between coffee and deadlines.
