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 new book contains loads of ideas for days out and things to do, opening up parts
of London & the Southeast you might previously not have
considered.
