Editorial Reviews: The Rough Guide to London is the definitive insider’s handbook to one of Europe’s most exciting cities. A full-colour section introduces many of London’s highlights with expert coverage of all the sights, from Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to lively Covent Garden and the attractions of the South Bank. The guide includes comprehensive accounts of the city’s neighbourhoods from swanky Kensington and Chelsea to trendy Clerkenwell and Hoxton. There are up-to-date reviews of many of the capital’s hotels and restaurants, plus detailed coverage of London’s shops, pubs and clubs to suit all budgets.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very comprehensive! Comment: Rough Guides have always been my favorites, and this was no exception. It provides a comprehensive guide to all areas of the city of London, and includes hotels, cafes, pubs, shopping, etc. It also makes for an entertaining read, although I question how much the author actually likes living in London. (The book actually states that "disappointingly, London has had only 2 assassinations." This is a disappointment?!) In addition to the sections on each part of the city, the appendix has a decent history of London, as well as a list of other books about the city. For anyone who plans to spend a substantial amount of time in London, this will be an indispensable guide. I tend to leave the country for a couple months at a time, and thus rely completely on these guides. However, it's not the best choice if you simply plan on going for a weekend, since there is no way you'll be able to do and see it all....I would then suggest something like Frommer's Top Ten: London instead. Customer Rating: Summary: Rough Guide: London. Comment: This book gives ou a nice overview of the region, and incredible specific tips for visiting London. Customer Rating: Summary: good detail Comment: I tend to like the rough guides, they go into much detail on the sites. An alternative is an audio guide. soundwalks(i think more for NYC) and www.talkingtrip.com are also great for london guides. The rough guides I think are one of the better alround books. More Reviews
