London is a walker's paradise! Walking London is the essential companion for any urban explorer—whether visitor or native—committed to discovering the true heart of one of the world's greatest capital cities.
In 30 original walks, author, distinguished historian, and London expert Andrew Duncan reveals miles of London's endlessly surprising landscape. From wild heathland to formal gardens, cobbled mews to elegant squares and arcades, bustling markets to tranquil villages—Duncan reveals the pick of the famous sights, but also steers walkers off the tourist track and into the city's hidden corners.
These 30 carefully planned walks—ranging from 2 to 6 miles, but always within easy reach of a quiet park or cosy pub—guide you through the capital's most interesting and attractive quarters. Handsomely illustrated with specially commissioned color photographs and complete route maps, this book provides full details of addresses, opening times, and the best bars and restaurants to visit en route.
For the walking enthusiast, your favourite Anglophile, and even London residents, Walking London is your comprehensive guide to exploring London on foot!
