London Walks, London Stories

London Walks, London Stories: Discover the city's hidden gems with the original walking tour company is a love letter to the city on foot, created by guides from the Original Walking Tour Company. Instead of a conventional checklist, the book offers curated walks that stitch together history, architecture and anecdote: back lanes and grand avenues, forgotten courtyards, river views, literary corners and the small details that make London feel lived-in. Each route is designed to be practical (what to see, where to turn) and also narrative (why it matters), so you finish a walk with the sense that you’ve uncovered a story – not just a landmark.

Written in an engaging, guide-at-your-side voice by David Tucker and Richard Steves, and published by Virgin Books (2009), the book mixes local insight with a traveller’s curiosity. Expect themed explorations – from royal and political London to markets, theatres and riverside districts – with plenty of “did you know?” moments that work brilliantly for first visits and for repeat travellers who want to go beyond the obvious.

If you’re buying a used travel book that still delivers value, this is a smart choice: a compact, story-driven walking guide that helps you plan days in London, save time, and discover hidden gems you’re unlikely to find alone. Perfect for self-guided itineraries, it turns every neighbourhood into a mini adventure.
