Please tell me where I can find the self guided walks that are suggested -Westminster, City, Bankside, Jublee Promanade, West End - I have been searching the web and I have not been successful.

You might check Rick's guidebooks in either your local bookstore or library. I don't have them in front of me, but I imagine the tours are in the London, the England or the Great Britain guides, if not all of them.

You will find them in Rick Steves' London guidebook, which I suggest you buy. (Or check it out at your local library.) It has the best information of all the guidebooks. It has suggestions for meals and hotels in all price ranges, with LOTS of budget and money saving tips. Also, it tells you which attractions are worth seeing and which are not, and lots more. It covers the hop-on-hop off buses (and boat rides) so you know which to choose. It gives pages of details on each museum, so you know what's in there, and what their hours are, and whether or not they have a good cafe inside. Includes a good map, and details about different areas of the city. Also snippets of history; WHO is this statue, and WHY are they famous. You can order it here on the RS web site.

If you want to check out another book, the Eyewitness Travel book on London, published by DK, includes nicely detailed discussions and maps outlining several London walks. (I'm a big fan of that series; they provide a great supplement to Rick's books.)

Hi - you can download some of Rick's guided walks free on iTunes - there are several for London. They are very helpful!
