"London lends itself to walks as well as any city in Europe. It’s a city of towns and villages which grew together while maintaining their personality quirks. It’s a city still roamed by the spirits of Romans and the proud Celts they put down. It’s a city that inspired literary greats. It’s a city that stood up to a battering in the darkness of the Second World War and refused to break. And, it’s a city that confounds tourists without a guide. For twenty years, as a visiting and curious and sometimes overwhelmed traveler, I have enjoyed David Tucker and his band of London guides. Each has a passion that carbonates the slice of London they share. And they have helped me appreciate the many facets of their city. Now, with this collection of essays, these guides take their gift to travelers and amplify it so that we can all, wherever we are, sit back and enjoy a little slice of one of our world’s great cities." ~Rick Steves, author of Europe Through the Back Door and 30+ other European travel guidebooksDownload Instructions:
