Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)London can overwhelm, but this small book makes it manageable for first-time visitors as well as London junkies. There's an overview, sorting the commonly-visited tourist sites by type (sights, activities, kids' activities), as well as shopping, eating, and entertainment listings that provide enough information for a few days' visit. I even found a few gems listed that, in the course of many years visiting London, I had not known about--the Geffrye Museum is a good example. The maps are not as good as the A to Z or Benson's maps, but they work pretty well, and there's a handy Underground map in the front. A bus map of central London might have been helpful, though I'm not sure how they'd cram it in. You'll need something heavier (thus harder to tote around as you explore) for background reading, but this is portable and useful. I own this book and always get it as a gift for friends going to London for the first time. Enjoy!
