London Walking Guide

Inspiring, accessible and affordable: Pocket Mountains publish the UK's bestselling walking guides - get out and enjoy the great outdoors whatever the time of year!More than 10 million people pound the pavements of England’s two-millennia-old capital most days, but zoom out from the gritty city streetscape a little and London looks leafier and more verdant than many visitors and inhabitants realise. Boasting 3000 public parks – ranging from big breathing spaces to secret little oases – London is one of Europe’s greenest major cities. This guide seeks out the serener side of the original Big Smoke. These 30 routes ramble across commons, parks, hills and heaths, and wander along waterways and through woods, meeting London’s lively wildlife and unearthing endless surprises along the way.
