Customer Reviews
When a man is tired of walking in London, he is tired of life.
If you like going for a walk and discovering new parts of London this book is worth buying. The walks are all different and fascinating in there own way. Maps are easy to read and the stories that go with the walks add some perspective and educational (or can be amusing) anecdotes on the walk. I have to say i've done all the walks in this book and vol 2 and have loved them all. Whether in the rain or sun, on my own or with a friend it gets you out and about with a purpose and always something new to dicover. Have to admit i haven't done the walks over 10 miles though. Last thing, if you bring a camera you will guarantee to find an interesting photo opportunity on each of these walks too.
mildly useful
There are some interesting ideas here but the walk instructions are too vague to follow. I got lost trying to follow the Fulham walk and I did try day one of the two day Thames walk and thank God I had found better instructions on the Web.
