| Synopsis: |
London's streets, squares, alleys and lanes; its parks, heaths and open spaces; its palaces, villages, docks, canals and rivers - they all offer a rich variety of atmosphere, architecture, historical perspective and terrain for the urban explorer. "Walking London" presents 30 walks encompassing nearly 100 miles of this endlessly surprising landscape. The "commentaries" for each individual walk act as the walkers' own personal guide to the most historic and attractive areas of the capital, leading them to the famous sights but also steering them off the beaten track into forgotten and fascinating corners of London, which only few tourists would hope to stumble upon. The author has anticipated any questions explorers may pose about the many interesting, unusual and puzzling features they can actually see en route, and provides illuminating, satisfying answers. For each walk there is a detailed map highlighting the route as well as all landmarks, parks and gardens, historic sites and buildings, museums, art galleries, churches - and of vital importance, the location of toilets. Opening times for every place of itnerest open to the public are given at the back of the book.Full information on all forms of public transport to and from the walks' start and finish points. Recommendations for suitable places to break for sustenance en route. |
