5.0 out of 5 stars All-in-one fact book for aspiring Londoners, July 18, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: London at Your Door (Culture Shock! At Your Door: A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)

I was happy to find this book because it answered all the questions I had about going to London and spending about six months there. It goes beyond the tourist layer of London (which is pretty thick) and gets you into the city as it exists for Londoners. Even after several months here I still refer to it often and it has helped me to really enjoy the city, away from the madding crowds.

This review is from: London at Your Door (Culture Shock! At Your Door: A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)

I'm planning on studying in London for a year or more, and was so greatful for this book. It's an interesting read, more than a reference book, but can be referred to over and over again. Reccomened if you are going to spend time living, not visiting London, or if you are just interested in the city and its culture.
