Curious London (instagr.am/curiouslondon_) is the first off-the-beaten-track guide to 42 hidden gardens, historical churches, lesser-known museums and galleries in and around London.

According to its creator: "the idea for this map came to me, during one of my many and varied walks around London, something I am particularly passionate about. Discovering and learning more about this great city on foot, is something that is both fascinating and rewarding. I would love to share these interesting places with those keen city walkers and cyclists as well as those tourists who are willing to explore further than just the usual touristy sightseeing destinations."
