With Open City's Pocket Tours subscription, receive engaging, incisively written and architecturally adventurous walking and cycling tours directly to your door each month.
The tours feature a wide range of authors, from veteran historians to established architects and emerging critics, tackling big themes while experiencing the finest architecture in London and (occasionally) further afield. The maps are a high quality risograph print, and are delivered in a smart string and washer envelope for safekeeping. You can also get hold of a bespoke handmade presentation box with gold foil inlay handmade as well as a bonus back issue of our Pocket guide to Woolwich by Rosamund Lily West if you'd like a sample tour straight away.
