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, and 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 and showing the ways
they have shaped the city. Each walk starts at the tube or rail
station nearest to the source of the river, and then follows it
down to the Thames through parkland, suburbia, historic
neighbourhoods and the vestiges of our industrial past. Along the
way there are encounters with such extraordinary Londoners as
William Blake, Judy Garland, Paul Robeson, Terence Donovan, Bradley
Wiggins, Nelson, Lenin, Freud, and the great Victorian engineer
Joseph Bazalgette. Hidden Rivers of London contains over 120 km of
walks, both north and south of the Thames. Winding through the
hills, valleys and marshes that underlie the city, every page is a
revelation.
