The streets of London are inexhaustible in their tales they have to
tell. Following the success of Stephen Millar's first three
volumes, London's Hidden Walks Vol.4 introduces twelve new walks
that will surprise and entertain the intrepid explorer. With this
book in hand, readers can find the ruins of a church that
Shakespeare would have visited, the hotel where the assassin of
Martin Luther King Jnr. laid low, a pipe containing a lost London
river and the venues Taylor Swift used in a video shoot. With
fascinating stories, detailed maps, 400 full-colour photographs,
cafes, pubs and places of interest, London's Hidden Walks Vol.4
brings London's streets to life. The book can be enjoyed in its own
right or in conjunction with the first three volumes, which are now
established bestsellers. * 12 illustrated walks * details on the

Finding himself faced with a feeling of disconnect from his city of
birth, Stephen Millar sets out on a mission to capture the heart
and essence of Glasgow, engaging with the patchwork of 'tribes'
which make up the fabric of the city. Meeting with members of a
remarkable variety of clubs and sub-cultures - from pagans, to
cosplayers, to traditional musicians - this collection moves beyond
stereotypes and delves deeper into the origins of these tribes.
Scottish photographer Alan McCredie brings their stories to life
through a blend of portraits and candid snaps.
