Guided Walks
Several companies provide guided walks around parts of London. These walks are aimed primarily at tourists and the guide will often be an expert in a particular area. Such walks often are around a theme, such as 'haunted London' or 'London of Jack the Ripper'. It is also possible to download a tourist guide of London onto an MP3 player or use mobile phone-based services. There are also a number of volunteer led groups such as the Metropolitan Walkers of the Ramblers association, that offer walks for people in their 20s and 30s both inside and outside London.

Famous quotes containing the words guided and/or walks:
“Sometimes, when I compare myself with other men, it seems as if I were more favored by the gods than they, beyond any deserts that I am conscious of; as if I had a warrant and surety at their hands which my fellows have not, and were especially guided and guarded. I do not flatter myself, but if it be possible they flatter me.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“For she walks above earth,
along the sea-coast,
and across the salt trail
of the sea-drift.”
—Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)
