The London Traveler

Walks with a theme

by Andrea on March 7th, 2008

The “24 Hour Museum” has a whole page full of themed walks and trails around London. One for the amateur of industrial and urban landscapes is the Brunel Docklands trail, with riverside vistas, a trip through the first ever underwater tunnel, and a few museums thrown in. More nature-loving minds will be attracted to the historic gardens and museums trail, or perhaps a visit to the hilltops of South London with views over the metropolis.

If you’re tired of sticking to the central areas of London and want to get out of the centre a bit, the twelve trails can give you six whole weekends of fun discovering the outlying districts and the little known and often highly entertaining sights of the suburbs. A couple of them also have an audio tour / podcast thrown in if you want to take your mp3 player with you.
