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. I’m game for more of these London walks – so much to digest from the stimulating and numerous other tours also on offer. Each of the 15 sections of this London walk features local landmarks like the Thames Barrier, Eltham Palace, Richmond Park, Oxleas Meadows, and the London Olympic Park. There is much more detail than in a standard guide book, but it is entertainingly written, and covers everything from architecture, immigration and cultural influences to movies and criminals. Comprehensive 'Contexts' chapter of this travel guide covering Walks in and Around London features fascinating insights into London with coverage of history, religion, ethnic groups, environment, wildlife and books, plus a handy language section and glossary.

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. From self-guided walks in specific areas to themed walks and seasonal strolls, they’ve covered large areas of the city. Richard's walking tours cover a wide variety of different neighbourhoods and themes and each one has been mapped out to ensure that almost every second of the walk is crammed with interesting and fascinating locations and stories. Not quite small enough to fit in your pocket, but certainly a lighter version to carrying a book around with you. Our itinerary suggestions and expert author picks of things to see and do will make it a perfect companion, both ahead of your trip and on the ground.
