Listen to N Quentin Woolf and myself walking and talking a section of the Thames (The Thames Barrier to Greenwich) in this Londonist podcast.


In March 2025, my latest book Green London was published. It is my sixth illustrated London walking guidebook.

Since 2012, I have been exploring, writing and illustrating guidebooks on subjects such as the Regent's Canal, the River Thames Path and London's Hidden Rivers. Two years ago I created a walking guide to the gorier side of the capital entitled Bloody London. More details in the About section.
