Having been to London before, I was looking for an easy to carry, concise book that would help me explore the famous and not-so-famous hot spots in the City. This book had the high quality you would expect from Frommer's and was organized in a logical, easy to read and find format. I would recommend this book for anyone who is interested in having stuff listed out and a digestible amount of prose.

This book is fantastic if you have already been to London and have seen many, but not all, of the sights. It gives you good advice as to what places you can skip and what places are worth your time. It points out "tourist traps" that one may want to avoid if a leisurely vacation is what you are looking for. The shopping section is especially helpful.

This book was not helpful. It is written in a glib manner that "throws" bits of information at you without telling you any information that you can use. Itis also not organized in a helpful manner, so it is difficult to use the little information it has. Very disappointing.
