The best way to explore London June 17, 2010

Andrew Duncan's books are superb. The walks take you to visit areas of London that are hidden away. They are informative and very easy to follow. I have recommended this book to all my friends.
Good directions, clear maps, interesting places and facts April 4, 2010

I spent a while considering various different books of London walks and am very glad I chose this one. The walks often take you off the beaten track and down all sorts of interesting side streets and alleys, as well as past some of the more well-known sites and main roads. Each walk is packed full of interesting facts about the history of the places you pass and people associated with them, which you would otherwise probably never know. The written directions are very intuitive and the maps easy to follow, and there are often suggestions of places and areas to eat and drink on the way. There are various different lengths of walk so you can chose something to suit depending on how energetic you are feeling or how much time you have. I usually scan and then print out the relevant pages so the book doesn't get tatty or wet. A very good book and well-recommended.
The only book you should consider for walking in London January 18, 2010

I originally ordered two of the other books on walking in London during a summer internship in the heart of the city. As soon as I received them I had a quick skim through, and was thoroughlly dissapointed by the irregular layout (maps in a different section to the walk's text), lack of background content, and poorly planned routes.
I returned them to Amazon (which was painless) and ordered Andrew Duncan's book. Again, as soon as it arrived I had a quick look through, and was amazed at how much better the book was. Intuitive layout, with a large map at the beginning of each walk with the route displayed on the map, and then a good chapter of information which is broke into clear sections for each point of interest on the walk.
I completed half of the walks in this book over 8 weeks, and cannot wait to take the book with me on my next visit to London to complete a few more. I hold this book, and the author, in the highest regard for this fantastic walking book.
The best London walking book by far!! June 27, 2003

This has got to be the best walking book of London that I have ever used. Being an avid walker I have found this book invaluable! My friends and I have spent many a weekend walking around London, learning about the history of this great city, thanks to this book. It is a great way to spend a day and also very cheap as walking doesn't cost a thing! I recommend that anyone living in London should buy this book; they will get so much pleasure from it! Andrew Duncan does a fantastic job of leading you around some fabulous places in London that you would probably never find on your own. Not only that, but he also brings each place to life with really interesting historical facts which never cease to amaze us! This is by far the best walking book; the maps are easy to follow and the information is fascinating! I only wish that Mr Duncan would write another book soon as we have now done most of these walks!!! Buy it now!!!
