I have bought several copies of this book - and keep giving them away - but I still enjoy reading it. It is an excellent description of a unique walk as well as a superb history of London's open spaces and the threats they have suffered over the years. Full of interesting historical detail and informative nature notes. Bob Gilbert wears his considerable knowledge of his subjects lightly which helps make this book both an essential field guide and an entertaining and absorbing armchair read.
