London's Waterside Walks

In London's Waterside Walks, one of the city's experienced Blue Badge Guides, Brian Cookson, describes 16 walks, selected to reflect the history and modern developments related to their waterways. The walks cover many of London's most stunning views and its most beautiful scenery, as well as much compelling waterside industrial archaeology. They were developed for the highly-rated City Literary Institute courses, and have been tried and tested several times by the author. Using his experience and local knowledge, David has produced commentaries that are a pleasure to read and clearly point out what to look for, both the popular tourist attractions and significant lesser-known sights. The walks are designed to last about two hours, including stops and visits to places of interest with free entry. Each walk includes a summary of the highlights, a clear route map, detailed descriptions of approximately 15 stopping points and listings of places worth a further visit, with information on opening times, addresses and entrance fees. Dramatic photographs of some of the spectacles which adorn London's waterside enhance and enliven the text.
