 American Walks in London
10 Step-By-Step Itineraries for North American Visitors
Richard Tames
This guidebook is specifically aimed at tourists coming to London from
Canada and the United States. In ten easy-to-follow walks, each complete
with a map, the author takes the travellers on routes with North-American
connections. Included are tours that reveal where Benjamin Franklin worked
as a printer in a church over eight centuries old, where Whistler painted
the portrait of his mother, where Teddy Roosevelt got married, and where
FDR spent his honeymoon. Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot were first published
in London, Fred Astaire had his dancing shoes made in the
capital, and Ava Gardner and Jimi Hendrix died in London. The walks also
cover London's most famous sights and each walk is accompanied by
suggestions for refreshments, visits, diversions, shopping and off-beat
souvenirs.
