Illustrated guided tours of London

Over the past few years I’ve written and illustrated numerous walking guides for capitals' leading blog site: Londonist.com. Below I’ve listed some of theses. If you do walk any of them please let me know how you got on; has anything changed, have paths been rerouted or new features added or demolished? Contact me david(at)monojo-i.co.uk
