Time Out London
Time Out Guides is rated top guidebook brand by Which? Survey, for level of detail, photography, quality of maps, ease of finding information and value for money.
London, city of Beefeaters, red buses and Buckingham Palace is also a restless innovator: it is home to new projects and stellar architecture (the newly opened Serpentine Sackler Gallery by Zaha Hadid and a grand new Design Museum), year after year of new luxe hotels, boutiques and restaurants, now even whole new neighbourhoods – the Olympic Park in the east, the revitalised Victoriana of King’s Cross to the north.
The Time Out London City Guide continues to chart the ups and downs of a city both ancient and cutting edge. With the help of local journalists and experts, the Time Out London Guide takes you beyond the superficial – into the places where locals play, sampling the full extent of its museums and galleries, the best of its eating, shopping and carousing, the most interesting sights, strolls and excursions.

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.

Great reference book set out in a really helpful and handy way. Recommended even for Londoners.

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.
