About the walks



Accuracy

Things change in London just as often as they do in other places. Although many of the landmarks highlighted in these walks are hopefully going to be there for years to come, others may not be. Also, prices I have quoted are sadly bound to have risen over time.

I therefore try to occasionally check the walks and the prices of things and update the information provided. However, if you come across something I have mentioned on a walk or a price I have quoted that needs to be changed, I would be grateful if you could let me know.



Level of Detail

The walks are deliberately not meant to be overly detailed as I don't want to overload you with information. After all, you are probably on holiday! Instead, they are intended to point out the key landmarks and provide you with just enough information to make the walks interesting.



Maps

I've tried to show the locations of landmarks as accurately as possible on the google maps but for some places, the co-ordinates might not be precise. Please just use the maps as a guide.



Safety

London is a big city. As such, it has the usual problems such as street crimes and muggings. Although all walks take you through areas of London that are usually safe and generally busy with people, please do them in daylight hours. Besides, you get to see more of the sights that way!
