London - By: LomoFatBoy, 16 Dec 2007 
I bought thisin combo package with Great Britain (Eyewitness Travel Guides). However, I think it is not worth to have them both as Great Britain travel book cover quite a lotin London part. But if i were coming to England & only visit London then i will consider to buy this book.
However, I livein Central London & I found this book quite useful source of travel around outskirt London. In addition the Great Britain travel book only cover the main tourist attraction.
Pro: Great graphic, Maps, good sources of facts, good size
Con: none
Summary: Buy this if you only visit London. If you want to travel around Great Britain then Great Britain travel book is a better choice.
A great help for travelling! - By: , 25 Aug 2001 This book is a helpful source for travellers to London. It contains all sorts of information to help you find the highlights of the city, wether it be attractions or hotels this book comes with all the info. The Maps are also very helpful to plan you trip. This is a number one buy for traveller's to London.
Excellent but no attitude - By: , 01 Oct 1998 
This is the tour book equivalent of the one volume encylopedia. Covers the topic well, but not muchin the way of attitude. However, if you have limited time to see the tourist attractions, this is probably the best on the market. If you want to see the "real" London, get a Rough Guide or the Time Out Guide to London. You'll find out not only what to see, but what's not worth the bother.
The most comprehensively helpul London travel book ever! - By: , 21 Jul 1998 This book & the othersin the series (e.g. for Paris & Rome) provide photos, drawings & diagrams of what other books only tell aboutin print. Beautifully designed & easy to use, this is the one superb resource to read before your trip; you'll know London before you arrive. And during your visit you'll refer to it continually. You'll get a satisfying balance of information about the city's history, culture, arts, neighborhoods, customs, traditions, shopping, events, transporation & more...plus an excellent "survival guide" section...and detailed street & subway maps & recommendations about carefully screened lodging, restaurants & shopping. We don't travel without the Eyewitness Travel Guide. While this book is similarin style & layout to the equally excellent Knopf guides, I find a better balance of informationin the Eyewitness Guides.
You must have this book before traveling to London. - By: , 17 Mar 1998 This is the best book for travel to London that I have found. Don't bother buying any of the other books, this one has it all! It has convient maps of London, maps of all of the museums, & it even makes sure you won't look like a tourist using the Tube.
