5.0 out of 5 stars
This One is All You Need,
By JamesNYC "JamesNYC" (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet London Condensed (Lonely Planet London Encounter) (Paperback)
~I checked out just about all the london travel books at the book store, and decided to purchase just one - this one - before my trip. This book is slim - about 4.25 inches X 7.75 inches X .33 of an inch - and will fit easily in a purse. It has very useful maps of London, including a subway map (or, as the English say, a map of the underground). It has all the information you'll need for your trip, including travel from the airport to the city, tipping, hotels, shopping, restaurants,~~ entertainment, and, of course, the sights. The book devotes 20 pages to "Highlights" - the major tourist attractions. If you want to bring only one travel book to London, this should be the one!~

Perfect Size and Great Highlights,
By rizabiz "rizabiz" (Westhampton Beach, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet London Condensed (Lonely Planet London Encounter) (Paperback)
One of the few guides that you can actually slip into a purse or bag and utilize. Convenient tube and location maps on both the inner and outer flaps that were extremely helpful. Although I was staying with a friend and did not use it for accomodation or food, I did find the highlights of things to see in London very informative and interesting. Particularly---they highlight a "not to miss" list at particular sights, which made certain gallery viewing all the more interesting. Take this book along and buy a current Time Out magazine for up to date restaurant choices.

Perhaps an interesting buy when it's on sale,
By BB (Amsterdam, NH Netherlands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet London Condensed (Lonely Planet London Encounter) (Paperback)
The hotel section seems OK and I didn't check out all the suggested bars, restaurants. This travel guide mainly covers mainstream stuff most people know already. If you are looking for a good condensed travel guide to the point for what's really going on in London -even up to Hip and Happening- I suggest you buy the "Virgin Guide" (and buy Time Out magazine in London!). I expected a better signal to noise ratio from a Loneley Planet guide. My rating of this guide: Average.
