Here are some walking tours with Paul Talling exploring sites covered in his books-These walks cover the routes of London's lost and hidden rivers/canals/docks and lost music venues and also take in other points of interest, social history, music trivia & the odd bit of dereliction along the way. The time estimate for walks is very rough as I'm in no hurry and these usually result in a social in the pub afterwards. Any queries to: info@ londonslostrivers.com
