London's Hidden Walks: Volumes 1-3

Product Information

In the case of the former, they might have passed the entrances to the alleyways, passage, and courts on a regular basis and not bothered to venture into them. I learned so much about London’s history and character via off-the-beaten path stops and Shaughan’s stories, told with humor and his deep knowledge. With over 400 full-colour photographs, this book is packed with interesting details about London's history with both personal tales of those that wandered the same streets in former years and a more general social and economic history of the different areas covered.

At other times they are hiding in plain view, on the sides or on the rooftops of London's historic buildings and structures. I’m game for more of these London walks – so much to digest from the stimulating and numerous other tours also on offer.It should prove a great success with all those who enjoy strolling London’s streets and have an interest in its history. Shaughan is a very engaging guide who shows an interest in his group members – asking them about where they are from and their careers, an indication of his enjoyment of his work.

The performance includes information, history, facts/figures, songs in character and delicious humour. Each route varies in length from 1 to 6 miles, and is clearly outlined on detailed A-Z street mapping. He is the author of London's Hidden Walks volumes 1-3, Edinburgh's Hidden Walks, Tribes of Glasgow, London's City Churches, and Lust, Lies and Monarchy. I recently had the pleasure of going on London Walk’s walk titled “Hidden London with Adam”, and I had a wonderful time thanks to the tour leader, Adam.For example, how many times have you walked out of St Paul's Underground Station, en route to either your office in Paternoster Square or on Ludgate Hill, or bound for the Cathedral itself?
