London's obliging equanimity in the face of two millennia of tourists has been a distinguishing feature of the place since it was founded as a Roman settlement around 43 AD. This title takes the reader across this buzzing metropolis, balancing the expected tourist highlights with lesser-known corners and byways.
London's obliging equanimity in the face of two millennia of tourists has been a distinguishing feature of the place since it was founded as a Roman settlement around 43 AD. It is a huge yet humane city; an international capital that embraces the individual at eye-level, welcoming the walker to wander, explore, and join the numberless millions who have found themselves - in every sense - in this lively, companionable, and endlessly evolving city. Strolling Through London takes its walking reader across this buzzing metropolis, balancing the expected tourist highlights with lesser-known corners and byways. Each walk offers a unique and bespoke type of London experience - from 'Lively' to 'Literary', 'Medieval' to 'Modern' and Underground London' to 'London in a Day'. All impart the kinds of rewarding experience and discovery that only come from a true engagement with London's complex, vibrant history and spirit.
