This guidebook is specifically aimed at tourists coming to London from Canada and the United States. In ten easy-to-follow walks, each complete with a map, the author takes the travellers on routes with North-American connections. Included are tours that reveal where Benjamin Franklin worked as a printer in a church over eight centuries old, where Whistler painted the portrait of his mother, where Teddy Roosevelt got married, and where FDR spent his honeymoon. Robert Frost and T.S. Eliot were first published in London, Fred Astaire had his dancing shoes made in the capital, and Ava Gardner and Jimi Hendrix died in London. The walks also cover London's most famous sights and each walk is accompanied by suggestions for refreshments, visits, diversions, shopping and off-beat souvenirs.
