Porter, a bureau chief for The Miami Herald at 21 who later worked in television advertising, wrote the first-ever book to London for Frommer's.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to Have a Bloody Good Time in London, April 5, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's London 2000 (Paperback)

Frommer's London 2000 is an excellent resource for the inexperienced traveller. Starred reviews point the tourist toward sights that one simply should not miss. Restaurant reviews are right on target and are conveniently grouped according to location and price. Information regarding brief trips out of town is also included. Where and when can one catch a train to Oxford, and how much will it cost? It's in Frommer's. I found this to be a very handy little guide.

I purchased this book prior to making my visit to England last year. I did find much of the information quite helpful, although the "tube" map was not up-to-date (thus causing me to subtract a star, as it didn't include the two newest lines). Public transit is the way to go in London, so I hope the next edition will have the updated map. At any rate, the book is helpful in selecting museums, restaurants and other places of interest. If you are visiting London, I would recommend adding this book to a stack of other guides but not necessarily making it the only one you read.

5.0 out of 5 stars I swear by Frommer's, September 20, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's London 2000 (Paperback)

As always, Frommer's is an excellent guide to your destination. I use them for every new city I visit, and London was just as good as every other one I've used. Frommer's is always honest with their opinions...and always right!
