Acknowledgments
The London Wildlife Trust, and in particular its Director of Conservation Mathew Frith, helped to point me in the right direction for some of London’s great wildlife habitats, which form a theme throughout the book. Mark Gorman, a historian of London’s open spaces, has provided valuable comment on this aspect, another key theme. Thanks also to the wildlife photographers whose work features in this book, several of whom are linked to the Wren Wildlife and Conservation Group.
Two local groups have been of inestimable help in putting these walks together: the London branch of the Long Distance Walkers Association and the Wren Group, whose main interest is Wanstead Flats. Both found themselves taken to far-flung parts of the capital with draft walk directions thrust in their hand, to make sure that I could distinguish left from right. Any remaining errors rest with the author, alas.
