The London Fieldguide

£9.99

London is a city that never quite settles. Centuries of history sit right up against whatever opened this week: a new restaurant, a reworked gallery, a market that's always slightly different from the last time you visited. It rewards the curious, and this Fieldguide is your way in.

Rather than trying to cover everything, it offers a way of moving through the city: neighbourhood by neighbourhood, on foot where possible, paying attention to how places shift with the hour and the season. Written for travellers who would rather understand a place than simply see it.

What's inside

· 76 pages across 10 neighbourhoods, from West to East London

· Around 90 places, each with the story behind it: royal parks and riverside paths, markets and museums, historic houses and the quieter corners in between

· A month-by-month calendar of moments worth planning around, from cherry blossom season and Notting Hill Carnival to the London Film Festival and winter light trails

· Notes on London's famously changeable weather, and how to travel with it rather than against it

· Deeper feature notes throughout, including Turner's view from Richmond Hill, Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey, and a season-by-season guide to what's in bloom at Kew Gardens

· A personal introduction from the author, a Londoner of more than nine years

The Quick Fold: London
£4.99

This is a 3‑day, highlight‑packed London itinerary designed for first‑timers who want a little of everything: history, culture, food, and neighbourhood highlights.

*Details*

Your days will feel satisfyingly full, but the routes are planned to be walkable, logical, and punctuated with regular pauses to rest and refuel. Each day focuses on one broad area of the city, so you’re not criss‑crossing town, but you’ll still pass many of London’s big‑name sights along the way.

This itinerary weaves in some of Field & Fold’s favourite spots around key landmarks; you’ll often stroll right by them, so they’re easy to dip into without feeling like box‑ticking stops. It’s built for a classic long weekend from Friday to Sunday, with market‑specific moments timed for when they’re actually at their best (think Portobello on Saturdays and Columbia Road Flower Market on Sundays).
