Walking in London

Discover a wilder side to London with this guidebook of 25 walks in and around the capital's green spaces and nature reserves. Covering both centraland Greater London, they explore woods and forests, royal parks and heaths, canals and rivers. The walks range from 4 to 14 miles and take up to six hours to complete.

London is a city of 8 million people and 8 million trees, and its vast open spaces are home to 13,000 species of wildlife. This guide takes in all four corners ? including Epping Forest, Hampstead Heath, the World Heritage site of Kew Gardens and Wimbledon Common ? and showcases a greener, more
gentle side to the city.

Using the rivers as a guide, the book is divided into four sections, and includes a wealth of information about the wildlife, history and conservation of each area. Each walk is illustrated with an OS map at a scale of 1:25,000, and includes a route description, public transport information and photos. There is also a handy route summary table.
