From parks and rivers to heaths and woodlands, explore London's most wonderful natural spaces and uncover the green corridors that link them, with this beautifully illustrated and entertaining walking guide.
For many Londoners, now is a time like no other for walking, exploring and finding refuge in the capital’s green spaces. What is not so well known is that these amazing places can be interconnected to form ‘green walkways’, by using old railway tracks, towpaths and riverside walks.
In Green London, David Fathers shows walkers not only how to plan walks through green spaces and corridors but what is to be seen along the way. Featuring beautifully illustrated pages and intricate maps, each of the 14 walks featured describes:
"A book that not only serves as a walking companion, but is also an exquisite object you could relish from a winter's armchair" - Londonist
"A really lovely little walking book for London and Londoners who want to discover the rural space within in London’s urbanity" - Mapping London
"This is Fathers’ sixth illustrated walking guide to London, but deserves to become the one he’s most noted for." - Jewish Tribune
