If you are planning to travel to LONDON and you have limited time (and you love all things fabulous), you MUST buy this guide. You will not be disappointed. It provides you with valuable insight on the best restaurants, hotels, spas, bars, etc. It makes you feel sooo cool and in the "know." Their shopping itineraries are so unique and out of the ordinary, you will want to do everything they suggest.

Don't expect to see info on the usual touristy sightings (there are other guides that do that). There are no maps or photos. The guide is compact and full of current, trendy and posh information. They also dont waste your time with long reviews or comments.

LUXE takes you on a journey to discover all the fabulous things a city has to offer. They share many hidden secrets/gems that only as a local you would be able to discover.

I looked over the LUXE London and wished that I had this guide in my pocket when I visited the city a few years back. The most important advice in the guide is this: "On a budget? Don't come to London." I couldn't agree more. However, if your budget is in fact limited, the guide does provide "good value b&bs" while warning that some accommodations are "opulent". There are also handy tips on getting around via "the tube", London's subway system, calling codes, as well as deciphering "Brit-speak". Who knew that "quite good" actually means "rather disappointing"?

LUXE London was my best friend when I was in London. LUXE knows all the best places. Really no need to lug a heavy guide around like a tourist and just following LUXE guides for the most fun, I had the insider knowledge.
