Referencing

Several of the women appear in more than one walk or feature. Page references indicate the key entries for a particular woman, but do check the index for other references.

Abbreviations

Throughout the book several organizations are linked to different geographic areas, themes and personalities. The name is often listed in full at its first mention and subsequently (with a few exceptions) in its abbreviated form. Do also use the index.

Travel Information

For most listings the nearest station is given, whether tube, overground or mainline. If the site is not in close walking distance, additional information indicates walking time or if a bus journey is advised.

Transport for London (www.tfl.gov.uk) is an excellent resource for planning travel by train and bus and checking scheduled line closures.
