The official guide to the riverside path from its Gloucestershire source all the way to the outskirts of London. With the London Thames now covered by Aurum's separate new guide a companion volume can concentrate on the appeal of the full 150 miles of the country Thames which winds all the way from its Gloucestershire source near Cirencester to Hampton Court on the edge of the London conurbation. This new edition has a wealth of new information about the many sights & places of interest along the way from Wittenham Clumps that Paul Nash used to paint to Heston Blumenthal's Fat Duck restaurant at Bray as well as full walking tours of historic Oxford & Windsor & Eton. There are sections on Stanley Spencer at Cookham & Cliveden & the Cliveden Set as well as on handsome & interesting towns like Henley & Abingdon. There is also a new section on the wildlife & natural history of the Thames & plenty of extra information on transport links to & from individual sections. ...

A completely new Trail Guide dedicated to the London section of the Thames Path from Hampton Court to the Thames Barrier. Until now Aurums popular one-volume Thames Path guide has had all too little room to cover the endlessly rich array of sights & history along its London section
- something to look at literally every yard of the way. Now Aurum publishes a completely new walkers guide just to the London Thames laid out to its new full-colour Trail Guide design & including the extension to Crayford. Here is all the history along the river from the Mesolithic Period timber piles near Vauxhall Bridge to the new Shard skyscraper shooting skywards at London Bridge. It covers all the folklore from the famous frost fairs to the much-lamented beach near Tower Bridge not forgetting the poignant recent visit of a large whale to the centre of London. The Thames winds all the way through Londons history & culture from Henry VIIIs Hampton Court to the chequered fate of the Dome/O2: the London resident as much as the visiting tourist will find in this guide something new every step of the way.

READ BY JONATHAN AGNEW & FOREWORD READ BY THE MAGNIFICIENT STEPHEN FRY WITH SURPRISE CONTRIBUTIONS FROM JONATHANS TEST MATCH SPECIAL COLLEAGUES!! Perfect for cricket fans everywhere Thanks Johnners is a warm & witty tribute to Brian Johnston & his time at the helm of Test Match Special. READ BY JONATHAN AGNEW FOREWORD BY STEPHEN FRY & SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCES FROM TEST MATCH SPECIAL COLLEAGUES. The Test Match Special on-air incident in which Jonathan Agnews comment on Ian Bothams attempt to avoid stepping on his stumps -- He just couldnt quite get his leg over" provoking prolonged fits of giggles most notably from Brian Johnston has been voted the greatest piece of sporting commentary ever. The friendship between " Aggers" & " Johnners" became immortalised through that broadcasting classic but there was a far deeper bond between the two men as this fascinating book reveals. Jonathan Agnew had grown up to the sound of Johnston Arlott & a young Martin-Jenkins et al on TMS as he followed his father around on the family farm ear glued to the transistor radio but the two men met formally only when Agnew joined the BBC team at Headingley in 1991. Thus began a great working partnership which fuelled by a mutual passion for the noble game bridged the generation gap & ended only with Johnstons sudden death in 1994. As this book demonstrates so convincingly Johnnerss wit warmth & sense of fun was a feature not only of his cricket commentaries but also in the way he lived his life. His influence on " Aggers" is clearly recognisable in the same amiable & informal manner in which his successor presents Test Match Special today. Thanks Johnners is a rich blend of biography & anecdote of antics & dramas on & off the pitch in & out of the commentary box its pages filled with stories about the great names of cricket including Fred Trueman Geoffrey Boycott Vivian Richards Michael Holding & Ian Botham. Just as TMS is the sound of summer so Thanks Johnners is the fresh breeze rippling the long grass of remembered pleasures." ...
