I found the writing of this book to be some of the worst I have ever read in a tourbook. I found the writing quality varied greatly by section. If I recall correctly, this book has approximately ten writers and each covered a particular aspect of London. Certain passages simply didn't make any sense. The book had little continuity and therefore was very difficult to "digest." Although, the book stated that its authors tried to remain objective, the authors wrote glowingly about virtually every aspect of the city and therefore it was very difficult to determine what was worthwhile and what was not. I wish that the book has made more suggestions and tips. It had some useful maps, but I am sure there would be other sources for this information. This book simply didn't compare to many other guidebooks that I have referenced for trips to other destinations.
