Frommer's Memorable Walks in London (Frommer's Memorable Walks Series)

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Walking is the best way to get to know a city intimately, exploring its neighborhoods and taking time to savor its details and hidden treasures--so follow Frommer's for an up-close-and-personal look at London. We've designed eleven fabulous walking tours, taking in the city's most intriguing neighborhoods. Each route takes a few hours and comes complete with detailed directions, suggested refreshment stops for snacks along the way, and an accompanying map.

Discover the places where history was made and the colorful characters who made it. We'll take you to London's most atmospheric pubs, including the notorious 17th-century "Bucket of Blood" and the Polar Bear Pub, where the Rolling Stones rehearsed. You'll stroll past the homes and hangouts of London's most famous (and infamous) literary figures: Dickens, Keats, Wilde, Carlyle, the Bloomsbury group, Marx, and more. And we'll introduce you to Sir Christopher Wren's most magnificent structures, including St. Paul's Cathedral.
