Rather Splendid London Tube Walks

Joolz Guides’ Amiable Ambles Underground and Overground

Pip pip and tally ho! Joolz Guides is back, this time unveiling the hidden gems to be discovered on walks around, between, above and below London’s fascinating tube stations and railway lines.

Overground, underground, ambling free! London’s iconic Underground system is a living, breathing map of this great city. In Rather Splendid London Tube Walks, our resident tour guide Joolz uncovers the curious histories and secret details to be found on a wander around stations – across the Underground, the Overground, the DLR and beyond – from architectural oddities and forgotten platforms to film locations, literary connections and the peculiar habits of London commuters.

Packed with surprising facts and entertaining anecdotes, even lifelong Londoners will find something to fascinate them. Perfect for dipping into or taking with you on your own urban adventures, this is a celebration of the Underground and London in all its compelling and rather splendid glory.
