Too much with the spooky
29 Aug 2008
Format:Paperback
In general, I'm a big fan of the walks in Frommer's guidebooks. I think they're better-planned and better-described than in most other books, plus offer a nice mix of scenery, history, shopping, and eating along most walks.
Given that, I was disappointed when I browsed this book in the store. The page layout is nice, but a very high proportion of the walks seemed oriented to ghost stories, Jack the Ripper, and similar "spooky" or Gothic interests. Where are the historically-themed or literary walks? Also, while each walk seemed to have eating spots noted, I didn't see shopping mentioned. So, this book was a pass for me.

Ridiculous approach to the selection of London walks

I like Frommer's maps and bought this book in hope that it would be similarly useful. Sadly, it appears to have been assembled by someone whose idea of a great time in London is to search out every crime scene or supposedly 'haunted' location the city offers. It really is puerile I'm afraid, and a complete waste of money.
I enjoyed walking through London!

I found Frommer's 24 Great Walks in London, very informative, it has great pictures. There are maps for each area the walks cover and the details they give lets a traveler see and decide what they want to see when they get there -It was a great armchair vacation. for me. This is another Amazon Verified purchase for me, I always find what I'm looking for at Amazon.com
