5.0 out of 5 stars The Best All-Purpose Guide to Britain!, February 20, 2002

I have traveled to England a dozen times and I own current editions of 12 different guidebooks. This is far and away the best. It has the most useful information in the easiest-to-use format. For one thing it has all the travel planning facts you need. In addition, the destinations are described with writing that is evocative, imaginative and accurate. The recommendations are reliable and I was never steered wrong in selecting lodgings and restaurants. Before I found this book, I had to combine four different guidebooks to get all the information that's included in this one. From a veteran traveler, I highly recommend the Lonely Planet guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars great guide for a free spirit, October 20, 2001

This was the first LP guide I purchased. I highly recommend this guide book and used it extensively, while travelling in England and Scotland.

When I first got off the plane and ended up at the airport, I made the mistake of making a hotel reservation through the Thomas Cook booth at the train station. That was a mistake. The next day, I pulled out my LP guide, and found a hotel down the street that was half the price, and it was cleaner, and nicer to boot. From that moment onwards, I was hooked on LP guides.

Since I was travelling solo, and had a rail pass, I pretty much decided where I wanted to go when I woke up each morning. I would find a hotel when it started to get dark. When that would happen, I would pull out this guide, and find a place to stay.

Recommended.

My husband bought me this book before we went to Britain for our honeymoon. But, in fact, my husband, who was born and raised in W. Yorkshire and lived in London for several years, actually learned some things about his own homeland.
