Duncan is the doyen of the many guides who take tourists on walks round various parts of the city, and this book - with its route maps, pub addresses and other essential data for 30 interesting walks - is probably the best on the market. Duncan is a proper historian, so he gets you deeper under the surface of places than some of his competitors, and the sheer variety of walks withh surprise even the native Londoner.
