"London is a walker's paradise, and here's a guide through miles of endlessly surprising landscapes--from wild health land and waterways to formal gardens; from mews and narrow alleyways to elegant squares, from tranquil villages and bustling markets to royal palaces. Duncan acts as a personal guide and commentator, describing each of 30 walks and anticipating questions about fascinating and puzzling sights along the way. Includes information on transportation to start and end points and tips on where to relax along the way." -- Publisher description from web.
