Walking London's Docks, Rivers and Canals

by gilly-cameron-cooper

London is strewn with waterways, but the River Thames twisting through the capital can be seen from a radically different perspective in the futuristic Docklands area to the more sleepy suburbs of Putney, Chiswick and Barnes. Much of Camden's quaint charm would be lost without the Regent's Canal, and further out in the suburbs the Wandle, Lea and Brent rivers are well worth discovering. Walking London's Docks, Rivers and Canals is an exploration, in 22 carefully researched walks, of London's varied water-ways in all their glory. Gilly Cameron-Cooper's engaging text is steeped in historical detail, and is accompanied by clear and detailed route maps and enchanting photographs.

c2005. A good addition to a 'walkers' library. There are 22 walks detailed of varying lengths. Clear cut instructions and maps and some wonderful obscure facts about London and environs. All walks start and end at a railway station so although there are not many circular walks - you would know how to get back to 'base'. Recommended.
