Synopsis

Time Out London Walks features 30 walks from London writers, each revealing a personal insight into their chosen corner of London. From ancient woodland to modern skyscrapers, motorway underpasses to stately homes, most parts of the city are subject to the scrutiny of the writers. The end result is a book that can be read with pleasure at home, as a collection of writing about London, and above all used as a thought-provoking guide to a series of walks through the capital. Snapshots Margaret Forster lets us in on her regular walk around Hampstead Heath Dan Cruickshank passes an architectural eye over the city Graham Norton takes us to the gay bars and clubs of Soho John Vidal trudges 29 miles along the side of the Thames, giving a passionate critique of soulless developments and sensitive regeneration from the Thames Barrier to Hampton court Kate Kellaway makes a nostalgic return to her childhood in Kentish Town and Hampstead Irma Kurtz rediscovers the monied pavements of Knightsbridge and Kensington Yvonne Roberts contrasts the class-conscious commons of Clapham and Wandsworth Lucinda Lambton leaps from grave to grave in Kensal Green Cemetery

A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur :

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what’s happening in the world’s greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
