Green and pleasant London open to all!August 16, 2007 T. ASHTON 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is an excellent publication especially for Londoners. Easy to follow instructions with clear link ups to public transport. Well signposted route so, along with this book, it is difficult to get lost! The sections are comfortable lengths for new walkers but the more experienced can easily do two or more at a time. This is a great way to see London's back yard that isn't seen from the road and appreciate how green the "greenest city in Europe" actually is.
Awkward guide to an interesting walkJuly 6, 2007 M. Williams(Traveller) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I finished walking the Capital Ring today, desperately wishing that I'd had a better laid-out guide. My chief criticisms are 1. the text is a stream-of-consciousness narrative of walking directions and history. These need to be separated for clarity 2. The ordnance survey maps are too small to read street names, so if you miss a turn because a sign is missing/vandalised then it's harder to find your way back to the path.
This sort of route would be better served with clearer maps, with callout boxes to handle the historical detail and some little photos of landmarks. If doing it again, I would make sure I always had another map guide and/or GPS with me. Someone I met along the route said they printed off maps each night because the ones in the book were so useless.
