London is a vast metropolis with a population of over 8.5 million people and a history stretching back two millennia. However, unlike more modern cities, London was never planned as a major city but has grown over the centuries to absorb numerous historic towns and villages. Many of these are now bustling cosmopolitan areas such as Bloomsbury and Notting Hill, while others, such as Barnes and Dulwich, are more rural and retain their original charm and character. It's hard to imagine nowadays, but in the 18th and 19th centuries, people were farming in Islington and fishing in Chiswick! Nevertheless, if you're seeking a village vibe - a village green, small local shops, an ancient church and graveyard, even a pond beside a pub - you can still find them in London if you know where to look. Modern London is made up of a rich tapestry of ancient villages, just waiting to be discovered. London's Village Walks takes you around 20 of the city's most interesting and best preserved villages, where - with a little imagination - it's possible to imagine you're still living in a bygone age.

Paperback. Etat : Good. Watson, Jim (illustrateur). London was never planned as a major city but is the result of the fusion of a rich tapestry of ancient villages and more modern developments. Many of these villages have been consumed by bustling cosmopolitan areas such as Mayfair and Soho, while others, like Chiswick, Dulwich and Richmond, are more rural and still recognisable today. If you're seeking a genuine village vibe in London - a village green (perhaps with a pond), an ancient church and graveyard, a local history museum, an abundance of independent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, and - most important of all - a real community feel, it isn't so difficult to find if you know where to look. Even in central London, there are districts - such as Bloomsbury, Chelsea and Notting Hill - where you can still find streets and tight-knit communities with an authentic village feel. Our 20 walks take in many of the city's most interesting and picturesque villages. All you need to enjoy them is a stout pair of shoes, a sense of adventure - and this book. We hope you find them as enjoyable and rewarding as we did. N° de réf. du vendeur CIN1909282944G
