London`s Hidden Corners, Lanes & Squares was inspired by Samuel Johnson`s advice to his friend & biographer James Boswell in the 18th century, on the occasion of the latter`s arrival in London: ”survey its innumerable little lanes & courts.” These are less numerous in the 21st century than in Dr Johnson`s time, so we`ve extended the great man`s brief to include alleys, squares & yards, along with some roads & streets & the odd green space. The entries range from history-soaked lanes in the City where you half expect to meet one of Charles Dickens`s characters (or even the author himself), to smart, pastel-painted mews in Chelsea that used to stable horses & now house the affluent & wealthy; & from unexpected pockets of Georgian beauty in traffic-plagued central London to tranquil Kensington squares, where you can hear birds singing & almost smell the money. ...

London has many rivers, but they are often hidden under centuries of development. Rivers like the Walbrook, the Fleet or the Westbourne have left their mark on the city, & still form an important part of our subterranean world. David Fathers traces the course of twelve hidden rivers in a series of detailed guided walks, illustrating the traces they have left & showing the ways they have shaped the city. Each walk starts at the tube or rail station nearest to the source of the river, & then follows it down to the Thames through parkl&, suburbia, historic neighbourhoods & the vestiges of our industrial past. Along the way there are encounters with such extraordinary Londoners as William Blake, Judy Garl&, Paul Robeson, Terence Donovan, Bradley Wiggins, Nelson, Lenin, Freud, & the great Victorian engineer Joseph Bazalgette.
