I’m game for more of these London walks – so much to digest from the stimulating and numerous other tours also on offer.Review: This is a great little guide to some interesting walks you can take around London with the aid of some A-Z maps. I bought this set used but in great condition so 4 stars for accuracy but 5 stars for value for money.
