That's pretty cool--I've never lived near an author I liked before unless you count living in the same city as John Berendt ("Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil") and Chris Fuhrman (who only wrote "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys" before he died at age 31).
Well, living in the middle of London does mean living near a LOT of people. For example, China Mieville used to live about 200 yards away, and stood for election in the constituency that ends about 50 yards from my house; I was very annoyed I couldn't vote for him, he was certainly a more interesting candidate than any of the ones in my constituency.
