Powerhiking London: Eleven Great Walks Through The Streets Of London And Environs

WHAT IS POWERHIKING?

POWERHIKING is walking with an agenda that excites not only your senses but also your spirit. It takes walking to a new level of energy and interest and allows you to see and to do as much as possible. Your days are full of exhilarating experiences and exercise. POWERHIKING lets us see more of the unexpected - an amazing view, an ancient passageway, charming lampposts, and royal crests. In London, POWERHIKING takes on a whole new meaning. The city is bursting with power: royal, military, cultural, and economic. London is a city full of history while at the same time a city of change. Skyscrapers rise next to venerable historical icons in the cityscape; commuter ferries dot the infamous River Thames reminiscent of schooners of bygone days. The power of diversity in the city is striking as well. Londoners come from all over the world, speaking English with the clipped accent that is a product of the British Empire.

Although we spend very full days POWERHIKING the richness that is London, the walks can be divided into less strenuous excursions, with more time devoted to the pleasures of pubs, high tea, art museums, historical monuments, parks, and gardens. You may choose to spend only a few hours exploring the city or follow the longer routes that take you through the many historical sites. The city is truly a feast to enjoy, as you prefer. You are in charge of your experience and walking from one destination to the next is the key! Wear your POWERHIKING shoes, take a bottle of water, a camera and this book, and head out on your London POWERHIKE!
