London Adventure Walks for Families will offer 25 carefully devised, imaginative explorations of the city from its centre to its suburbs, all accessible by public transport, specifically designed to appeal to the mindset of children. These intriguing explorations of the historic (Tudor London/Dick Whittington/Fire of London/Florence Nightingale), literary (Coram Boy, Dickens, Shakespeare, 101 Dalmations, Paddington Bear), artistic (Festival of Britain, Art and Architecture) and famous sights of the capital will draw them in and keep them actively involved and enthralled. For the parents, there will be all the add-on information that families need such as facilities, opening times, shops, food, transport, places for a sit down, places for a run around, I-spy lists and other game ideas. Highly creative in its content and design, the format will tempt children and adults and London natives and tourists alike. London families looking to avoid the obvious can explore fascinating and largely free adventures on their doorstep and visitors who want to know the City like a born and bred Londoner. Capitalising on the success of Adventure Walks for Families this book will provide a new way to see the Capital, one which will fire the imagination of every child and explore the environment with fresh eyes. Packed with tantalising facts and unusual places, it will draw on the urban culture as much as the countryside within the city, revealing secret facts, hidden places and little explored treasures of London. It will become the essential London guide book for families.
