Book Description

January 21, 2008 Rough Guide Travel Guides

Whether you fancy sampling some bloody royal history at the Tower of London or indulging in strawberries and cream at Wimbledon, The Rough Guide to London is the definitive insider’s handbook to one of Europe’s most exciting cities. A full-colour section introduces many of London’s highlights with expert coverage of all the sights, from Buckingham Palace and the Houses of Parliament to lively Covent Garden and the refurbished South Bank. The guide includes comprehensive information on every corner of the city from swanky Kensington and Chelsea to trendy Clerkenwell and Hoxton and right out to Windsor. You’ll find detailed accounts of all the palaces, museums and galleries, big and small, and why they’re worth (or not worth) visiting as well as two new colour sections on the Thames and London for free. There are up-to-date reviews of many of the capital’s hotels and restaurants and specialist sections on nightlife, the gay and lesbian scene and classical arts, all written by London-based experts. From Oxford Street to Camden Market, the guide comes complete with detailed information of the capitals best shopping-spots, plus maps and plans for every area.

Make the most of your time with The Rough Guide to London

5.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive!, March 7, 2008

This review is from: The Rough Guide to London 7 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Rough Guides have always been my favorites, and this was no exception. It provides a comprehensive guide to all areas of the city of London, and includes hotels, cafes, pubs, shopping, etc. It also makes for an entertaining read, although I question how much the author actually likes living in London. (The book actually states that "disappointingly, London has had only 2 assassinations." This is a disappointment?!) In addition to the sections on each part of the city, the appendix has a decent history of London, as well as a list of other books about the city.

For anyone who plans to spend a substantial amount of time in London, this will be an indispensable guide. I tend to leave the country for a couple months at a time, and thus rely completely on these guides. However, it's not the best choice if you simply plan on going for a weekend, since there is no way you'll be able to do and see it all....I would then suggest something like Frommer's Top Ten: London instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars good detail, July 20, 2006
I tend to like the rough guides, they go into much detail on the sites. An alternative is an audio guide. soundwalks(i think more for NYC) and www.talkingtrip.com are also great for london guides.

The rough guides I think are one of the better alround books.
