London is a great city for walking, whether for pleasure, exercise or simply to get from A to B. Despite the city's extensive transport system, walking is also often the quickest way to get around − at least in the centre − and it's also free and healthy! London has grown organically over 2,000 years rather than being planned logically like some modern cities (such as New York). As a result many attractions are off the beaten track, away from the major thoroughfares and public transport hubs. This favours waking as the best way to explore the city, which contains a wealth of interesting sights in every 'nook and cranny'.

These 30 walks unveil nearly 100 miles of London's great variety of landscape - formal gardens and wild heathland; cobbled mews and narrow alleyways; elegant squares and arcades; royal palaces and country houses; docks, canals, lakes and rivers; bustling markets and tranquil villages. The text not only describes each route, but anticipates and explains puzzling features, both historical and contemporary, which the walker will encounter. Detailed maps indicate the precise location of historic sites, buildings and other landmarks, and opening times are given for places which are open to the public, together with information on all forms of public transport. There are also recommendations for suitable refreshment and sustenance breaks.
