Rather Splendid London Pub Walks - Joolz Guides

Rather Splendid London Pub Walks takes us on a leisurely meander in search of a drink and a story. Each of the 18 walks sees Joolz visit famous local hostelries while highlighting fascinating tidbits to look out for along the way. 

Take the scenic route around popular and lesser-known pars of the metropolis - whether it is to wander around Wapping or the regal environs of Greenwich, along the Thames from leafy Chiswick, visiting old gin palaces of Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia, or historic boozers in Mayfair and Westminster. 

London is packed with gorgeous old public houses that tell a million weird, wild and wonderful stories. Illustrated throughout and with a map of each area to guide you, Rather Splendid London Pub Walks will see you spending happy days wandering the city - pull up a chair and settle down for a pint and a chinwag with Joolz. 

Most of the walks are between 2-5 miles long. Each walk is described in detail with masses of fascinating information accompanied by a map of the route and photographs. There is a short quiz of fun facts at the end of each walk and you can award yourself points for spotting street furniture as you go along. 

We think this book is the perfect way to explore the capital, whether you are visiting with the family or live and work in London.
