A guide to exploring and enjoying the river Thames and its tributaries through the 50 best riverside walks. The River Thames is a beautifully rich and diverse 215-mile stretch of water that so many of us enjoy walking along – for half an hour, half a day, or days on end courtesy of the wonderful Thames Path. Explore further and you discover the Thames tributaries – the rivers and streams that flow into the Thames from miles in all directions. This natural network has an enormous catchment area, right across Southern England into the Thames Estuary. From a small source stream in Gloucestershire, across varied and historic countryside, through London and into the wide estuary entering the North Sea, the Thames and its tributaries are a plentiful area for exploration and enjoyment. Exploring the Thames Rivers and Streams helps you do just that. The book presents the 33 primary rivers that flow from the Thames and within these chapters describes 50 wonderful walks that best explore the beauty these tributaries have to offer. The walks vary between 4 and 12 miles long and explore a variety of chalk streams, wet woodlands, lakes, reedbeds, flood meadows and canals, where you can pause, observe the wildlife, read about the interesting and historical places featured, or enjoy the waterside with a wild swim, picnic or paddle. Each chapter also features beautiful photography and informative maps.

A beautifully illustrated introduction to mudlarking which tells the incredible, forgotten history of London through objects found on the foreshore of the River Thames. Often seen combing the shoreline of the River Thames at low tide, groups of archaeology enthusiasts known as 'mudlarks' continue a tradition that dates back to the eighteenth century. Over the years they have found a vast array of historical artefacts providing glimpses into the city's past. Objects lost or discarded centuries ago – from ancient river offerings such as the Battersea Shield and Waterloo Helmet, to seventeenth-century trade tokens and even medals for bravery – have been discovered in the river. This book explores a fascinating assortment of finds from prehistoric to modern times, which collectively tell the rich and illustrious story of London and its inhabitants - illustrated with and array of photographs taken of the items in situ in the mud and gravel of the Thames estuary, at the same time both gritty and glimmering.

With individual maps to show the course of each river and over 100 colour photographs, it's essential browsing for any Londoner and the perfect gift for anyone who loves exploring the past... 'An amazing book' -- BBC Radio London 'Talling's highly visual, fact-packed, waffle-free account is the freshest take we've yet seen. A must-buy for anyone who enjoys the "hidden" side of London -- Londonist 'A fascinating and stylish guide to exploring the capital's forgotten brooks, waterways, canals and ditches ... it's a terrific book' - Walk 'Pocket-sized, beautifully designed, illustrated and informative - in short a joy to read, handle and use' -- ***** Reader review 'Delightful, informative and beautifully produced' -- ***** Reader review 'A small gem. A really great book. I can't put it down' -- ***** Reader review 'Fascinating from start to finish' -- ***** Reader review ************************************************************************************************ From the sources of the Fleet in Hampstead's ponds to the mouth of the Effra in Vauxhall, via the meander of the Westbourne through 'Knight's Bridge' and the Tyburn's curve along Marylebone Lane, London's Lost Rivers unearths the hidden waterways that flow beneath the streets of the capital. Paul Talling investigates how these rivers shaped the city - forming borough boundaries and transport networks, fashionable spas and stagnant slums - and how they all eventually gave way to railways, roads and sewers. Armed with his camera, he traces their routes and reveals their often overlooked remains: riverside pubs on the Old Kent Road, healing wells in King's Cross, 'stink pipes' in Hammersmith and gurgling gutters on streets across the city. Packed with maps and over 100 colour photographs, London's Lost Rivers uncovers the watery history of the city's most famous sights, bringing to life the very different London that lies beneath our feet.
