Walking West London Adam Yamey

Adam Yamey, a Londoner born and bred, explores parts of west London, both familiar and lesser known, in a collection of chapters filled with information, sometimes idiosyncratic, but always interesting. The areas covered in this volume include Alperton; Bedford Park; Boston Manor; Brentford; Chelsea; Chiswick; Fulham; Grand Union Canal; Hammersmith; Hanwell; Holland Park; Hyde Park; Isleworth; Kensington Gardens; Kensington; Little Venice; Notting Hill; Notting Hill Gate; Osterley Park; Paddington and Bayswater; Portobello Road; River Brent; Shepherds Bush; Turnham Green; and Wembley.

Adam gives you his impressions of these places, hoping you will enjoy them and that they will enhance your love and appreciation of London. This illustrated work is an informative walker's companion, rather than a conventional guidebook. It is partly a traveller's handbook, partly history, and partly personal reflections and anecdotes. Adam's book can be read whilst exploring west London or when relaxing in a comfortable seat.
