American Walks in London: Ten Step-By-Step Itineraries for North American Visitors (Independent Walker)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Walking tours are the best way to experience and see the depth of London's heritage and its many direct connections with American and Canadian visitors. Even if you have been to London a hundred times you know that you can never exhaust its riches.
See where Benjamin Franklin worked as a printer in a church over eight centuries old, where Whistler painted that portrait of his mother, where Teddy Roosevelt got married, where FDR spent his honeymoon. Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot were first published in London. Fred Astaire had his dancing shoes made here. Ava Gardner and Jimi Hendrix died here.
Accompanied by detailed maps, the ten walks in this book (each starting and ending at a tube stop) will take you to all London's most famous sights as well as places you never knew existed-showing them to you as you've never seen them before.
En route, the author recommends: --Restaurants, cafes, fast-food and take-out places --Pubs and wine bars --Public toilets --Delays and diversions --Shopping and souvenirs --Sights and sites, museums and galleries --Bus and walking tours
