An excellent way to see London,
By
This review is from: City Walks: London: 50 Adventures on Foot (Cards)
I bought these because I live in London and sometimes I just want to go for a walk. But you do get in a rut: same places, same views.These short walks take you into some of the most lovely areas of London, places outside the tourist attractions. One of our favorites was Holland Park, such a lovely surprise with the gorgeous Kyoto Garden koi pond and the treed lanes. We were often in Notting Hill, but hadn't ever stumbled into this area. This park is SO different from Hyde Park, so much more intimate. If you are coming to London for the first or, especially, for the third or fourth time, pick these up and see parts of London you never dreamed of.

Fascinating and compact--a great find,

Taylor uses the tube lines as launching points for these journeys--very smart--and the cards are small enough to so you won't stick out too much as a tourist as you stare at them trying to find your destination. The maps are very specific and though my wife and I didn't try all of the walks, we found the West End walks insightful.

Handy and well-designed,

This review is from: City Walks: London: 50 Adventures on Foot (Cards)
I brought this set of walks to London and really enjoyed using them. They maps were clear and well-designed and the walks were fun, realistic, and retained a sense of adventure. Also it was a big plus to be able to bring a few cards along for the day, and leave the bulk behind. I hope that someday I can return and do more of the walks. I plan to buy other sets for other cities when I'm lucky enough to do more traveling. They're best put to use if you're going to spend a few days or a week in one region.
