Set during the beginning of the pandemic, Lockdown on London Lane gives a thoughtful and entertaining look at what a week of quarantine means for a building of neighbors who are all made to stay locked down, isolated within their building for a week due to another neighbor who came down with a positive case of Covid.
Told in multiple perspectives, each chapter gives a glimpse into the life of a few of the building’s inhabitants and how being on lockdown poses different challenges for these characters. It’s like every chapter is opening a door into that particular apartment and each tells its own fascinating story.
The premise itself is really interesting— we are offered a unique look into various apartments in a single building for a “slice of life” during a surprise mandatory weeklong lockdown— and it is very well executed. The situations the characters find themselves in feel realistic, believable and thought-provoking. It’s fascinating to be a fly on the wall and experience lockdown in the individual ways the particular characters within the building experience it.
