"Time Out" London Walks: 30 Walks by London Writers: Vol 1 ("Time Out" Guides) Time Out London Walks features 30 walks from London writers, each revealing a personal insight into their chosen corner of the capital. From ancient woodland to modern skyscrapers, motorway underpasses to stately homes, most parts of the city are subject to the scrutiny of the writers. The end result is a book that can be read with pleasure at home, as a collection of writing about London, and above all used as a thought-provoking guide to a series of walks through the capital.

The Rough Guide to Walks in London and South East England This guide uncovers a variety of walks both in and accessible from the capital. The city walks explore areas of London's rivers, canals and woodland, from Richmond to Camden. Outside of London there are accounts of both the established walks such as the Ridgeway and original routes taking readers to lesser-known areas of interest. All the routes include colourful background on places of interest along the way and reviews of the best country pubs in the area. Each route also includes a detailed map, complete with contour lines and a rating from easy to strenuous.

Exploring the East End (Walks Through History S.) London Walks. The routes chosen for these Walks Through History reveal the rich, varied character of one of the most distinctive parts of London - the East End. They take the walker through hundreds of years of the East End's dense and surprising history, from the now-distant days when the area was considered an idyllic retreat, through the boom of the nineteenth century, the Blitz and postwar decline, to the present resurrection of Docklands as London's new financial centre. The armchair traveller will get as much enjoyment from these guided tours as the intrepid walker who explores the highways and byways of backstreet East London.

Walking Village London: 22 Original Walks Through London's Villages (Globetrotter Walking Guides) London Walks. This updated walking guide reveals the unexpected country character of London's inner boroughs and outer suburbs. In 22 walks it uncovers London's prettiest and most historic villages, from bustling Kensington and Rotherhithe in the city centre to hilltop Monken Hadley in the north and unspoilt Carshalton in the south. Historian Andrew Duncan is the reader's personal guide, providing historical and anecdotal information on the villages as well as the colourful characters who have populated and shaped them through the centuries. Colour photographs capture the villages' rural charms, while route maps pinpoint places of interest and the best restaurants and cafes to be found on the walks.

"Time Out" London Walks: v. 2 This second volume of London Walks explores more of the capital with some of London's finest writers. Resident novelists, artists, comedians and historians observe the city around them, tapping into its history, revealing its beauty and exposing its secrets. In all, there are 25 walks around the capital, taking in everything from hospitals, churches, temples, mosques and synagogues to courts, places of execution and cemeteries. Whether you find yourself chasing mushrooms among the deer in Richmond Park, memorising a Coleridgian digression in a rural lane on Hampstead Heath, or eyeing up a Masonic vestment in a shop off Drury Lane, you should expect the unexpected. The highlights include: Claire Tomalin's journey to Greenwich with Samuel Pepys, dropping in on John Evelyn en route; Arthur Smith's eulogy to Balham; Frances Morgan's tour of the village community of Stoke Newington; Robert Elms's fond memories of Holborn in the 1970s; and David Aaronovitch on a discovery of the canals, rivers and creeks of east London.
