Description
In all there are 25 walks around London, taking in everything from hospitals, churches, temples, mosques and synagogues to courts, places of execution and cemeteries. Whether you find yourself chasing mushrooms among the deer in Richmond Park, memorising a Coleridgian digression in a rural lane on Hampstead Heath, or eyeing up a Masonic vestment in a shop off Drury Lane, you should expect the unexpected.
