Summary: #1 Travel Guide for London!!!
Comment: I bought 5 travel guides for London before my trip. They were all excellent guides & I enjoyed reading each of them. This book though was my FAVORITE by a long-shot!!! I read almost the entire book the day I received it, I had to make myself put it down to go to bed. It is full of interesting, useful & sometimes amusing information. My suggestion for anyone traveling to London is if you buy only one guide book that it be this one.
All the guides were helpful in their own way, but the Unofficial Guide was helpful in all ways. It covers every area that you need for your trip. Airlines, weather, hotels, public transportation, children's London, and on and on and on!!! It gives ratings, operating hours, prices, touring tips, etc. Much more information than you can ever imagine.
I could not have planned such a thorough & wonderful trip without this book. Many thanks to Lesley Logan for a fantastic, phenomenonally beneficial book that I also genuinely enjoyed reading!!!

Summary: Excellent
Comment: My wife, 3-year old son and I spent six months in London. We took 4 separate city guides with us, but consistently referred to the Unofficial Guide for the base of our information. Not only did we develop confidence in the recommendations (museums, restaurants, parks, transportation, and even medical assistance), we found the book easy to understand and navigate. I thank Lesley Logan and her publisher for an excellent book.

Summary: Thanks for the great guidebook!!
Comment: London turned out to be one of those places that I really enjoyed....and I believe it was made more enjoyable because we had done some research and planning before going. The Unofficial Guide provided information other than the mainstream stuff you read in all the other books. It added interested pieces of information that made even the planning process a pleasant one.

Summary: Careful using the voltage converter recommendation!
Comment: Page 67 of the book tells you to buy a voltage converter and that the input to the converter should be 110 and output is 220.'WRONG. The input voltage INTO the converter from the plug is 220 volts, OUTPUT, into the US device, is 110 volts. Be CAREFUL with that recommendation.
Otherwise, a fairly typical unoffical guide - these City guides are useless for restaurants and hotels, there are so many dozens of nice local restaurants and hotels in every city in the world [except NYC which has maybe 20 decent hotels] thast I find you can save ALOT of money and get a nicer place just looking around a little.
As for prices, BE CAREFUL to check prices for things in the USA. PAY in POUNDS and use a credit card- example is the Heathrow-London train - EurRail Same thing applies to London tube, ...
Also, use your credit card to get cash in London, even with charges for cash advances and interest for a month, you'll save on getting ripped off at airport currency bootths or banks, esp. in the USA.
