5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Guide to London, October 6, 1999

After having enjoyed Michelin guides for years, I believe that this is a better buy. It contains much (if not all) of the same information in a layout that is easier to use and in a typeface that is easier to read. It takes you through sights, attractions, restaurants, and pubs in a logical street by street manner. Saves lots of time in planning. I recommend it highly.

This is an excellant map once you are in london, but you won't find helpful info on restaurants and hotels in this one. I would recommend Frommer's guide to london which has climate for each month and where to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for architecture buffs, December 3, 1997

This review is from: London Step by Step: The Definitive Guide to Streets and Sights (Paperback)

A very thorough survey of notable buildings and sites of interest around London. Especially strong on churches. Descriptions are brief, however, and nothing is really evaluated, so don't use this as your only guide unless you really know London. Excellent for figuring out what else might be of interest nearby where you're going.
