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.

Aidan Wasley is the author of The Age of Auden and has written for Salon among other journals and magazines. He is Associate Professor of English at the University of Georgia, with a focus on modern English literature and culture.
