Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Paddling in London offers a paddle experience like no other, combining a connection to nature with the vibrant energy of the city's architecture, culture and art. Written by highly experienced paddleboard instructor, Anu Aladin, this complete guide features 40 routes, including:
- Non-tidal Thames from Windsor to Teddington: Lush greenery, scenic meadows, secret backwaters and historical landmarks
-Paddington Arm of the Grand Union Canal from Hayes to Paddington: A green corridor with an industrial past, where history intertwines with serene waters
-River Lea, River Lee Navigation and Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park: a harmonious blend of nature, history and urban charm
From short paddles to longer expeditions, this book includes excursions for all levels of ability. Responsible paddling is covered thoroughly, with a guide to safety equipment and how to use it properly, staying environmentally aware, and advice on licensing. Each route details the best places to stop, and the sites, landmarks and wildlife to look out for along the way.
With beautiful photography, and clear maps containing directions to paddle and launching points, this is the essential guide to making the very most of exploring London under paddle power.
