Victoria railway station, London
Guided by Simon
Short read: "loveliest castle in the world" and "England in stone"
"Longer read: As good as it gets. The ripe perfection of the Kentish countryside and Leeds Castle ("standing on its twin islands in the river Len, [it] rises romantically above the reed-fringed waters of its moat-lake)." Fairy-tale setting: no wonder it's "the loveliest castle in the world." As for Canterbury – across the immense span of centuries we wend. Like Chaucer's pilgrims to "Caunterbury we wende." And what tales Canterbury has to tell. Tales writ in the ancient cathedral towering moodily over nearby pubs and shops. Tales gleaned from half-timbered, whitewashed little houses lining narrow streets. Tales borne by the river Stour swabbling past brilliant flower beds and under arching stone bridges. In Canterbury we enter another world, we step into mediaeval history.

"If this were a golf tournament every name on the Leader Board would be a London Walks guide"
"Nah, don't need it, got it all here," you say. Er, roaming charges? Er, dead battery? Er, reading your phone in the bathtub and you drop it? [Smelling salts interval: sick as a parrot. ashen-faced.] Er, read the famous white leaflet in the bathtub and you drop it what do you do? Er, you dry it out. Anyway, maybe worth making a mental note that you can always pick up the famous white London Walks leaflet at the Cafe in the Crypt at St. Martin-in-the-Fields, the old church in Trafalgar Square. They're on the Information Table there, right by the box office. And indeed they also display them on the shop counter, right by the cash register. And it's win-win because the Cafe in the Crypt is one of the town's delights. Should be on everybody's London itinerary.
