ROUTE SUMMARY TABLE

INTRODUCTION

London is a city of eight million people, and eight million trees. Its people speak 300 languages, while in its skies the cries of 300 bird species may be heard. For every acre of land that bears a building, road or railway, another is open space – garden, park, woodland, farmland, or perhaps just a forgotten corner too marginal or hard of access to attract the developer’s shovel.
