Product Information

It is part of the ‘Explore London’ pocket series that has established a niche for Metro in recent years.

And, on Richard Jones's fascinating and insightful London walking tours, Richard is on a mission to introduce you to the secret and timeless city that cowers behind the modern buildings. Meet your guide just outside the exit of the designated Underground Station (Tube Stop) at the designated start time – for any given London Walk or Day Trip.Apt because in the Introduction I use the image of a lamp lighter: “London Walks guides are, after a fashion, latter-day gas-lamp lighters. Indeed, you'll be in the company of a guide who knows how to present his information in a way that is both informative and entertaining, which is why his London walks are as popular with residents as they are with visitors. For the walking enthusiast, your favourite Anglophile, and even London residents, Walking London is your comprehensive guide to exploring London on foot!

Given how much greenery the city has, it’s perfect for gaining a greater appreciation of London’s natural highlights. On your journey you will learn about London's finest palaces, historic houses and murky drinking dens, visiting unscrupulous politicians, literary figures, scientific heroes, notorious criminals, and stars of the stage and screen along the way. Unlike these books which are one long walk broken up into sections that can be done a piece at a time, Hidden Rivers is intended to be walked from the source of each river (in most cases) ending up at the Thames — although they can be done in reverse. Similar to The Capital Ring, The London Loop is another of the best London walking books for long-distance London walks.As the name suggests, it covers the UK capital’s best public monuments, statues, memorials, and obscure public artworks. This book is a fantastic way to find out more about the people celebrated by over 900 plaques all over the city and bring home the fact that you are walking down the same streets that they once did. But, for you, the client, why explore with a guide who has read a book when you can join the guide who actually wrote the book? From famous areas like Notting Hill and the City of London to green spaces like Regent’s Park and local areas like Islington and Dulwich, it has a lot of walks you can enjoy in both known and lesser-known parts of London. Taking this to extremes, the author sets out to walk the entire length of the London Underground - overground - passing every station on the way.
