Rivers of London series timeline
Feb. 6th, 2019 05:38 pmThis is my long-running series timeline for RoL, updated through Lies Sleeping. Further updates will also be on DW; I don't trust Tumblr's longevity at this stage. For everything before the series starts, I direct you to the fantastic timeline by the-high-meggas. This is only for events after Peter meets a ghost.
Updated 12 April 2015 to include details about the various short stories.
Updated 20 August 2015 with WOG on when the comics take place.
Updated 4 July 2016 with a little more info on the comics to date.
Updated 2 August 2016 with the official series chronology (which does not include the short stories associated with the special editions because they’re not legally/officially available outside those editions.)
Updated 29 November 2016 with details for The Hanging Tree and future comics from the official chronology.
Updated 19 March 2017 to add links to comics summaries and some more details about future works.
Updated 21 August 2017 with some more future works & dates for Detective Stories and The Furthest Station.

Other short stories/comics:
Action at a Distance: Comic run following Nightingale and colleagues on the trail of a serial killer in the 1950s, with a frame story of Peter reading the case records.
An untitled Nightingale novella set in the 1920s has been commissioned but not yet written.
The Cockpit (short story included in a special edition of Broken Homes, summary here) includes both Peter and Lesley so must take place sometime between the end of MoS and the end of BH (October 2012 - April 2013.)
The Domestic (short story included in a special edition of Whispers Under Ground) but nobody on the Internet seems to know much about it is not-very-legally available courtesy of the one person in the tiny fandom who owns that special edition, @thebaconsandwichofregret. It only features Peter and Toby so could theoretically happen at any point, but is probably best thought of as happening somewhere in between RoL and MoS, in mid-2012.
The short stories may eventually be collected with the to-be-published novella.
