Full of suggestions for London-curious; and plenty even the London-obsessed (like me!) won’t have heard of before but are now desperate to go and try. Needs more pictures though.

Good but would have loved more pictures, a picture for every place. Some of the photos they chose were weird like random people instead of the places they are describing. I'm familiar with some of these places and the beauty of some of them and the quirks weren't quite captured by the description and photos.

Skvělý průvodce po Londýně pro lidi, kteří nemusí nutně vidět všechny památky, a kteří mají rádi město z jiného úhlu. Díky tomuhle průvodci budete vědět, co kde ochutnat, kde nakoupit a odkud se na Londýn podívat. Jediná drobnost - raději si k průvodci pořiďte i normální mapu, protože se podle té na začátku knihy můžete docela rychle ztratit.
