Each volume in the classic Companion Guides series aims to provide a comprehensive travel companion in the person of the author, who knows intimately the places and people of which he or she writes. The area of London covered in this guide is a section bordered by the Tower, Kensington and Chelsea, Primrose Hill and the South Bank, and includes excursions up and down the river. Each chapter contains a map and a suggested walk featuring both the splendours and oddities of the town, parks, palaces and pubs.
