Full Description
A direct rail link from east to west across London was a vision for over 35 years, and with the arrival of the Elizabeth Line it finally became a reality.
The opening of this line, with its improved connectivity and shorter journeys, is great news for walkers - never before has it been so easy to get out and explore new places and see new sights.
This book covers the entirety of the line's sweep, from Shenfield in the east to Reading in the west.
There are 23 walks, all starting at an Elizabeth Line station. Along the way you'll explore the very best that London and the south-east has to offer, from fascinating urban landscapes and must-see historic sites to serene countryside and meandering waterways.
Highlights include:
* Hidden alleyways & dreamy squares in central London
* Panoramic views of the London skyline at Abbey Wood
* History & architectural splendour at the likes of Greenwich & Whitechapel
* Wide-open spaces & waterways of the Loddon Valley, Richmond & Reading
* London's iconic green spaces including Green Park, Hyde Park & more
* Peaceful countryside around Brentwood, Ealing & Romford
* Classic routes along the River Thames at Maidenhead & Taplow
* The impressive modern architecture & waterways of Olympic Park
