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 book contains loads of ideas for days out and things to do.
