4.0 out of 5 stars A cheeky, fun, inciteful book by people who know London, March 25, 2008

This review is from: Time Out London (Time Out Guides) (Paperback)

Time Out knows the pulse of the city like very few do, and it shows - they update their London guide every year. You get all the tried and true favorites - Parliament, the Abbey, St. Paul's - but also tons of places you might not find covered anywhere else. That said, the tone can get a bit cheeky, and sometimes you wish they wouldn't use British slang. But all in all, Time Out loves its mother-city, and they want you to fly back home feeling the same way!

I always use the Time Out guides as my first choice for any city they cover. I've used successive editions of the London guide every time I go. They are incredibly packed with useful and up-to-date information, and also hip, well-written, and fun to read. They've made a big difference in my travel experiences!

This was a very helpful guide for my recent visit to London. I never left my hotel without it in my purse. The street maps were the most helpful of any guidebook I'd purchased. Time Out offers great insight into the pulse of the city. What's hip and happening as well as traditional sightseeing information. I would have liked more restaurant information though. Overall, I'd recommend it as a great London guide.
