Aimed at overseas tourists, as well as Londoners eager to discover a different side of their city, this updated walking guide reveals the unexpected country character of London's inner boroughs and outer suburbs. In 22 walks it uncovers London's prettiest and most historic villages - from bustling Kensington and Rotherhithe in the city centre to hilltop Monken Hadley in the north and unspoilt Carshalton in the south. Historian Andrew Duncan is the reader's personal guide, providing historical and anecdotal information on the villages as well as the colourful characters who have populated and shaped them through the centuries. Colour photographs capture the villages' rural charms, while route maps pinpoint places of interest and the best restaurants and cafes to be found on the walks.
