5.0 out of 5 stars guidebook to london's secrets, December 2, 2000

By A Customer

I love this book! It has detailed instructions to find (and history of) little known spots in London that are marvelous. There are several color pictures and hand-drawn maps to help guide you on your walk.

Some of the fascinating bits of London that you can track down with this book are the rooftop gardens in Kensington, the underground tube stations that are no longer used and the rivers that have been tamed and paved over but still peek out here and there.

Even long-time residents will find new insight into their favorite city. Every time I go to London I search out one thing from this book and I'm always glad I did. For tourists, if you bring this book and an A-Z, and a copy of the latest Fodor's or Eyewitness, you won't want for anything else.

2.0 out of 5 stars Secret as in.. you can't go there..., January 27, 2009

By	Lea Evans "Knotwise" (Viera, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Secret London: Exploring the Hidden City, With Original Walks And Unusual Places to Visit (Paperback)

I have spent some considerable time in London now, as my husband grew up near and worked in London for some years, he has always been an excellent tour guide for me when we go.

So I decided to pick up something that might have information even he didn't know.

What a disappointment this book was. Although it does mention many "secret" places in London, the vast majority of said places, you cannot visit or see as a tourist.

What fun is it to read, "Behind this door is the most wondrous library, unfortunately you can't go in there.. but its there.. sucks to be you." or, "under your feet is an old WWII bunker, but its sealed off now, but its there....."

It almost feels as though the author is has simply writing a book to boast of all the places he's been and all the things he's seen that you can't.

I wouldn't recommend this book if you are planning to visit London, and actually do want to see some unusual sights. Might be good for someone who is just interested in READING about... not seeing... some of Londons secrets.
