Exclusive Legacy Oak Ale by Redemption
will be launched by London's Street Trees author, Paul Wood
at 5pm at the Antwerp Arms

Paul Wood is the author of London’s Street Trees: A Field Guide to the Urban Forest, published in June 2017 - signed copies will be available on the day. 

The book has 208 pages of street tree descriptions, anecdotes and history, and of course, hundreds of photos! It’s a journey through the urban forest: the astonishing multiplicity of trees lining the capital’s streets, from 19th-century Plane trees on the Embankment painted by Monet to Giant Redwoods in Edgware and a Magnolia in front of the Cheesegrater.

Paul writes The Street Tree blog and tweets @TheStreetTree.

Here is Paul away from his usual urban environment looking up at a giant Coastal Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) in California.
