Don't know about that one particularly, but I believe you used to be able to get a Martin Fido tape which you could stick in your Walkman and have Martin guide you round the area as you listened. Don't know if it's still available, though. Cheers Guy

Hi Cathy, Welcome to the Casebook. I was brought up in Southfields, very close to Wimbledon. I now live half an hour away as the tram flies. I haven't heard of this self-guided JtR walk but I will ask around at the next gathering of the Cloak & Dagger people and see if anyone can help. Love, Caz

Hi Cathy, I walked the sites on my own a number of times. About a year ago I also ordered this "Louis London Walks"-booklet about JTR-walks, but never "used" it, cause I haven't been to London since. It's also long ago that I read it. Gimme a few days, I'll re-read it to give you a good review. ok? Christian P.S.: Must be hell to live in Wimbledon during those two weeks of tournament!

Cathy, your initial message here was some kind of "getting publicity for Louis London Walks", right? ( The homepage in your profile is Louis's hp!) ;-) Christian
