London has many fabulous, green spaces, woods and parks, and indeed a recent study published in The Guardian found that London was one of the top five most walkable cities in the world (https://www.theguardian.com/cities/2020/oct/15/studyreveals-worlds-most-walkable-cities).
For many Londoners this has been a time like no other for walking, exploring and finding refuge in the capital's green spaces. What is not so well known is that these amazing places can be interconnected to form 'green walkways', by using old railway tracks, towpaths and riverside walks.
With this book, David Fathers intends to show walkers not only how to plan walks through green spaces and corridors but what is to be seen along the way. The format and style will follow his previous titles, with each spread featuring a highly illustrated map bringing the routes to life, including:
- Well-known landmarks, buildings and aspects
- Famous people connected with the area
- Historical events that have occurred nearby
- Types of trees and wildlife to be found on the route
- Sections of the Capital Ring
- Underground and railway links
- The distance covered
David Fathers has created more guidebooks to the capital than any other author, and these small but hugely detailed guides to making the most of London's wonderful green spaces will be loved and appreciated by locals and tourists alike.
