From the average queuing time at Buckingham Palace to the dance club of choice for the twentysomething crowd, this handbook has it all. London's best-selling guide is packed with inside information on the city's best arts, sights, entertainment, and shopping. It includes indispensable facts on where to dine and stay, from the cheap and cheerful to the most luxurious, and critical coverage of arts and entertainment. If it's worth your time and effort, it's in this completely revised guide.
Lately I've been reading a LOT of travel guides. I'm not going to bother reviewing them. But I thought I'd note that this Time Out series is a good one. I like the combination of landmarks with sites that are off-the-beaten path. Good photos, practical information.
The maps are the bomb diggity and I bought this book at the British Museum to get me through London by myself. I was definitely able to navigate using it. However I wasn't too keen on how the chapters were organized...just a personal preference.
I left it with my British friends for them to use.
This was a very nice full-color book, but much of the color is used for advertisements. This is interesting from a cultural perspective, but frankly that's not what I want in a book.
Decent travel guide. I am not the biggest fan of travel guides as I feel you can get a lot more information and up to date advice online. I only read travel books if I borrow them from the library.
