The Canon 70-200 f4L IS is a very good quality telephoto zoom lens but it isn't suitable for a walk around lens unless your requirements are very specialist - e.g close up street photography portraits.  It is telephoto only with no normal view or wide angle.

A more useful walk around lens would be the Canon 15-85 IS or the Canon 17-55 f2.8 IS, but there are many alternatives.

+1 for the 15-85, it's not perfect, but it is very sharp and covers your walk around needs.  But by all means get the 70-200 for everything else, sports, portraits, etc.  That lens is my favorite telephoto zoom lens - right size & sharper than everything else.
