Henry Eliot

Henry Eliot grew up playing in the ancient mizmaze on St Catherine's Hill, just outside Winchester. He is now London-based, where his favourite mazes are the Hampton Court hedge maze, still puzzling after three centuries, the Warren Street Underground tile maze, a time challenge for commuters, and the maze-like Barbican Centre with Michael Ayrton's sculpture of the Minotaur at its centre (known affectionately as Colin).

If Henry were to build a maze himself it would be circular with six maze 'cells' arranged as a hexagon and an enclosed mirror maze at the centre.Henry's first book, co-written with Matt Lloyd-Rose, was an alternative A to Z of London called Curiocity, which allows the reader to re-imagine and navigate the city's networks of streets, tube lines, bus routes and pedestrian walkways. He is the creative editor of Penguin Classics.
