The London LOOP (London Outer Orbital Path) is the newly created network of footpaths around the periphery of the capital. It is the result of 10 years' work by the London Walking Forum to devise a route encompassing some of the glorious countryside that lies within easy reach of the heart of London. This new Recreational Path Guide divides the London LOOP into 15 convenient sections, illustrated throughout with full-color photographs and maps, specially prepared by the Ordnance Survey. The sections represent day walks of reasonable length, each starting and finishing at a public transport point; the author also suggests points at which the walks can be broken down into shorter sections by getting back on a train or bus. Key sites along the route are numbered in the text and on the maps for easy identification.

This review is from: The London Loop (Recreational Path Guides) (Paperback)
Sorry, I cannot verify the accuracy of this book. However, as an occasional visitor to London, I can certainly say I like the book.Written in 2001, thre are 15 chapters of excellent decriptions and photos of this lovely 150 mile (240 km) trail. One of these days I will certainly take a mountain bike on the tour. With colourful photos and detailed Ordnance Survey maps, this guide gives a great overview of this circular loop outside London. The softcover book is printed on heavy embossed paper with rounded edges - perfect for stuffing in a backpack. With many photos one is alerted to the historical sites, parks, and nearby communities. Also many train stations are marked so any one of the 15 chapters would also make a good weekend visit for Londoners and visitors to the city. One day I will make a trip and hit this wonderful trail.
