The words "utterly" and "bonkers" spring to mind...
The old site as it was in 2013 is available in the web archive.

Madness.

You noted some time ago - http://diamondgeezer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/walk-london.html - that Walk London was an offshoot of Walk England, although it seems that TfL provided much of its funding. If so, what entitles TfL to pull the old website? Do they own it? Perhaps some minimal volunteer funding can be found to keep the old website going.

At least there is the Internet Archive.
The Walk London website still exists, as a husk, but now solely to promote their three annual walking weekends (and to link to the Walk London Facebook page).
I'm afraid that progress is hard to stop. What a pathetic situation.

With regards to capturing non-downloadable images, wouldn't the Snipping Tool work. Paste the image into a blank Word doc.
As John says, much (but not all) of the old site is preserved in the wayback machine. All the LOOP maps, for example, can still be downloaded from here.

That's great if you know there's something to look for and where to look for it, but not much help for most people who don't.

But there is an opportunity here: the maps I have just looked at (for the LOOP and the Capital Ring) have creative commons licences, making it completely legitimate for anybody to copy and republish them anywhere - maybe one for an outfit such as Londonist, or even for Mr DG himself.
The Capital Ring and London LOOP instructions and relevant sections of the Ordinance Survey maps are available in book form, and excellent value for money. (It doesn't excuse TFL, before someone says this, but I thought people might like to know about them.)

Capital Ring

London Loop
The lack of maps is nuts. Ironically I recently thought about doing some of the Lea Valley walk beside the Lea navigation. Directions are all very well but no maps is very poor given the need to orientate yourself and be able to find nearby stations or bus stops if you need to cut short your walk.
On the TfL Walking page there is still a link to the Walk London website! You couldn't make up how bad the 'new' TfL website is
How hard is it really, to migrate a webpage over in its entirety and then make the changes you want, rather than destroying it and having to rebuild it almost from scratch again!
This doesn't even save much money. I used this website a lot. I think we should start some kind of petition.
Someone, I can't think who (but it's not DG), has uploaded a copy of all of the maps and directions to a series of Google Drive public folders here:
