I would say absolutely, yes. When Peter and Nightingale travel out of the city to the source of the Thames, it\\\'s pretty much treated as simply \\\"not-London\\\" compared to the level of description elsewhere in the story. It\\\'s such a dramatic difference that it\\\'s like the author moved from describing what\\\'s there (in London) in loving detail to describing a dream (of rural idyll) imagined in his head. Plus, the story as a whole is so completely British that even I, as an ardent Anglophile who\\\'s spent time living in Britain, had trouble following some of the many, many casual references to pop culture, London lore, and Britspeak. Yeah, there are references to elsewhere, but only in the context of things that are part of everyday life in multicultural, cosmopolitan London. I\\\'m not saying its a bad thing (though it might put off non-British readers), but it seems like a perfect example of CreatorProvincialism to me.
