From Library Journal
This father-and-son team has written an eminently useful guide for planning a first or even second trip to London. Their book encourages the traveler to have a great time seeing the major sights while living like a native, keeping expenses to a minimum, and avoiding the pitfalls of travel to a new country. The Lains advise on accommodations (an apartment will be cheaper and roomier than many hotel rooms), keeping children occupied on the trip over, pacing yourself, and keeping family quarrels to a minimum. Information on specific hotels, bed and breakfasts, apartments, and restaurants is not included, although details on historic sights, museums, and day trips are ample. Chapters on dealing with daily life (shopping, money, getting around) and the planning section at the back will be of help not only to families but to first-time visitors to London of any age, including college students and seniors. Recommended for all libraries with active travel collections.?Linda M. Kaufmann, Massachusetts Coll. of Liberal Arts Lib., North Adams

Billed as the first guidebook for families seeking to "live like a local" on their vacation in London, London for Families is an accessible, well-organized and even friendly guide to a fun and hassle free trip abroad. Foreign travel can bring families together, give kids a new interest in history and social studies, and provide lasting lessons in cultural identity, according to authors, the brothers Larry and Michael Lain, who stress that these benefits are made easier in London where there is no real language barrier. "Foreign travel is a marvelous thing to offer to young people," write the authors. "The world is shrinking at a pace their parents could have never imagined: young people must be more world-oriented than their parents to live in the new century, and will need a greater understanding of world cultures than previous generations needed." With practical recommendations, like the best place to watch the Changing of the Guard at Buckingham Palace (in front of the Victoria Monument) and the location of Lewis Carroll's original handwritten copy of Alice in Wonderland (in the galleries of the British Library), London for Families is a must-have. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
