Unfortunately my walking days are well over but reading these books have given me such lovely memories and even after all these years some things I hadn’t known and the photos were of places and things I would have chosen to illustrate the walks exactly. This new guide to hidden short walks in and around London provides a perfect way to discover hidden gems and truly explore the history and heritage of the capital. Following any of the 12 walks featured in each book will allow the user to walk in the footsteps of authors and statesmen, murderers and revolutionaries.Each stage of the walk is described, from where to turn, which road to take and even exactly what buildings and things to look at to get the most out of the walk. As the New York Times put it, the walk is “a highly entertaining… blend of historical commentary and bizarre anecdote laced with mildly scurrilous gossip about past and present celebrities and defunct royals. Each walk is brought to life with thumbnail photos, striking full-page photos and detailed maps illustrating the route and where buildings and points of interest are located. Always terrific value and possibly the best way to spend Two hours in London especially if one is a visitor or tourist.
