London's Hidden Walks: Volumes 1-3

Product Information

This book is a wonderful way to explore this sometimes secretive city, great for either hardened Londoners or first time visitors. Receiving no public funding, the RA depends on the continuing generosity of our supporters and Friends.

We visited pieces of London Bridge, the London Stone, Bracken House with its astronomical clock featuring Winston Churchill’s face…as well as taking a wander past St. Stop for a coffee before you cross Bedford Hill road and continue to the northern part of the common. The box set should prove a great success with all those who enjoy strolling London’s streets and have an interest in its history. We will definitely be doing another walking tour next time we’re in London and we greatly recommend this one!

From then on, we begin to see London through fresh eyes, and the mundaneness of the familiar is soon playing second fiddle to the wonderment of genuine discovery. My main objective in devising this guide to Secret London has been for it to become the conduit via which you can uncover the city's rich, varied offbeat and hidden landscape. Explore Surrey Docks Farm, which has a working blacksmith’s, dairy, herb garden, and bronze animals. Instead you’ll wind your way East along the Thames, taking in the historic docklands, piers, and nature preserves. After passing under a railway bridge, you’ll enter Canbury Gardens, a great spot for relaxation and refreshments.

Simon did an excellent job of explaining the rebuilding after the fire and many hidden features of the Roman ruled city, The Great Fire and the rebuilding of the city.
