Having been a Londoner for years, this book hit all the right, nostalgic feels. Binge Watching London is a fantastic blast from the past for me — and a very well structured one at that — that is calling me for a cheeky TV-themed visit next time I'm around the city.
Marion's writing is clear, engaging, unpretentious, and her passion for the both the city and popular culture bleeds through every page. The photography work is also stunning, revamping the already romantic London's atmosphere.
This is a book clearly written by a local, for locals and curious tourists alike. I'd be happy to ditch all the Lonely Planet guides I've ever bought, if there were "Binge Watching ___" for every city I've travelled to. It rewards the curious, which as a traveller, is what you should strive to become in the first place.

Fun take on the traditional travel book. Divided into various genres of television and film, readers explore the city of London through the shows they love. Some places are only the atmosphere or related to the time period while others are actual filming locations. If you are planning a trip to London, and enjoy British television and film, I recommend this book as a unique planning guide.
