London by Patrick Kinsella
Over 10 million people pound the pavements of England's two-millennia-old capital most days, but zoom out from the gritty city streetscape a little, and London looks leafier and more verdant than many visitors and inhabitants realise. Boasting 3,000 public parks - ranging from big breathing spaces to secret little oases - London is Europe's greenest major metropolis. This guide seeks out the serener side of the original Big Smoke. All set within the M25, these 30 routes ramble across commons, greens, parks, hills and heaths, wander along waterways and through woods, meeting London's lively wildlife and unearthing endless surprises along the way.
Patrick Kinsella is an author, editor, photographer and journalist who specialises in scribbling stories about outdoor shenanigans, and telling tales about trails and ales. In pursuit of a good yarn he has canoed the Yukon River in Canada, skied across the roof of Norway, climbed Mont Blanc and Kilimanjaro, run ultra-distance races in Mauritius and the Indian Himalaya, mountain biked through the red centre of Australia, hiked to the very bottom of South America, scuba dived on volcanoes in the middle of the Indian Ocean and set speed records for trail running New Zealand’s Great Walks. Pat now lives in Devon with his long-suffering wife, two indomitable daughters and an indefatigable dog. Besides writing for various outdoor-focused magazines and websites, and contributing to scores of Lonely Planet and Insight Guides titles, he has authored walking books.
