Hillwalking London
Ten High-level Walks to the Heights of the Capital
-
London is a city of hills . . . Shooters Hill, Muswell Hill, Ludgate Hill - the names alone convey the topography. But there hasn't been a walking guide to the capital that makes a point of seeking out and threading together all its high ground, summits and fabulously panoramic views . . . Now, Hillwalking London provides ten routes, all around Greater London, of striking high-level walking. Here are seven hills of Croydon; the Sewardstone Hills north of Chingford; the former telegraph stations stretching across south-east London, as well as cherished ascents like Hampstead Heath and Richmond Hill. A base camp for refreshments is given for every expedition. Illustrated with colour photography and route maps throughout, it will make you see this beautiful city in a new way.
