- Companion
Guide to London
David PiperPaperback - 520 pages ( 7 March, 1996)
Companion Guides; ISBN: 1900639068
Each volume in the classic
"Companion Guides" series aims to provide a comprehensive travel

of which he or she writes. The area of London covered in this guide is a section bordered

suggested walk featuring both the splendours and oddities
of the town, parks, palaces and pubs.
- Globetrotter
Travel Guide to London
Nick Hanna Paperback - 128 pages ( 1 March, 1997) New
Holland Publishers (UK); ISBN: 185368712X
This is a pocked-sized
travel guide to London containing information, travel tips and recommendations. It
highlights top tourist attractions and other important areas, graded on a three-star
rating. Special fact panels feature facts and figures, while the "At a Glance"
sections offer recommendations on where to go, what to see and where to stay. The text is
complimented by photographs, charts and tables, and easy-to- read maps
and town plans which highlight scenic routes and pinpoint places of interest.
- London City
Guide
Paperback - 176 pages (31 January, 1999) Virgin Publishing; ISBN:
1852277599
Like other guides in this series,
the Virgin London City Guide contains a city map and a city
guide as two separate items in a clear plastic wallet, conveniently sized to fit
into a pocket or handbag. The 176-page guide aims to be a pick of the best, so it is not a
complete listing. It mainly covers the city centre, which roughly
corresponds to zone one and most of zone two on the London Underground. But it is ideal
for the independent traveller or business user who needs a quick introduction
combined with a hassle-free listing of the better-quality entertainment and shopping
possibilities. The listings are particularly impressive, ranging from the Ivy (arguably
the best top end restaurant) to the Lisboa, a tiny Portuguese café in Notting Hill
favoured by media folk on Sunday mornings. Half the guide is divided into London
areas like Greenwich Hampstead or Camden (though the City--the business centre of
London and one of the most historic districts--is left out). The other half is divided by
subjects like shops, restaurants, theatres
and cafes, with short reviews of each. The folding map has two sides. Open it one way and
it is a night map with locations of the venues, bars, clubs,
pubs and restaurants listed in the guide. The other side is the daytime
map with central London street listings. --Nick Rosen

- Fodor's 99
London (Fodor's Gold Guides) | (Fodor's
Pocket Guides)
Paperback - 266 pages ( 1 October, 1998) Fodor; ISBN: 0679001271
A reader from London, England , 24 July, 1999:
Excellent for the first time traveller!
The book is brilliant and as someone who lives in London I want to say
that it is good to have whether you are a traveller or whether you need ideas on where to
take visitors that are staying with you! Included in the book I bought was a map
of London and my only criticism is that the tube map is completely wrong and it would
confuse anyone unfamiliar with the underground in London. Ignore the map and follow the
ones on the station platforms and you will be fine! Overall an excellent guide but where
did you find the colours for the tube map as not one single line is in the correct
colour!?
A reader from California, USA , 28 February, 1999: A must have!
Never having been to Europe I was unsure what to expect. I knew all about the famous
landmarks, but what about places to stay and eat? This book does an excellent job of
dividing London up into little pieces with reviews and pricing information
for areas in and around London. It is making our itinerary much easier to plan.
- Frommer's
Irreverent Guide: London
Paperback - 228 pages (April 1998) Frommer; ISBN: 0028622405
An alternative travel guide
to London. It includes categories such as: hotels for travellers who wear
black clothes; hotels for people who confuse cash with class; restaurants
to revitalize 27-year-old marriages; must-sees for visitors from Minsk; and restaurants
where the frozen fish are.
Amazon.co.uk: If you think London is just emotionless guards in funny red
hats changing places, or stodgy businessmen clad in overcoat-and-umbrella uniforms, think
again. Kate Sekules brings to the printed page the endearing, the fun, and the very
cool sides of London. In an entertaining and enjoyable style,
she presents the lowdown on where to get great Sicilian pizza, where to "keep on
abusing your liver" after the pubs officially shut at 11 p.m., and where to go at 3
a.m. to drink espressos with London's other insomniacs. She introduces all the
neighborhoods and what's hot and happening in them, introduces you to the intricacies of
London parking (should you be so foolish as to rent a car), and lets you in on the White
Card, London's little-touted museum discount card. Sekules knows where all the top chefs
(and there are a lot of them in London now) do their culinary magic, when
the summer session of the Henry Wood Promenade Concerts (a.k.a. the Prom) begins, and what
there is to do in London on a Sunday. Of course she also provides the scoop on what you
look for in a guide--accommodation options; where to eat; how to get
around; where to party, enjoy the culture scene, and shop;
and what else there is to do for fun. And for each category, Sekules includes innovative
subcategories, such as Britishest, Eurotrashiest, Bargain beds, and Best health club under
"Accommodations"; or Book before you fly, For kids, Overrated, and For
oenophiles under "Dining." All in all, Sekules has written a brilliant guidebook
that is also a fun read and a great service to the London-visiting world. --Stephanie

- A Granny's
Guide to London
Shirley Eaton Hardcover - 128 pages
(15 October, 1998) Kensington West Productions; ISBN: 1871349141
Aimed at grannies with three-year-olds to 15-year-old
grandchildren (young enough to appreciate the magic of the capital, but not so
old that granny's purse is the only appeal of her company) this book is a great guide for
those with little people to entertain. Complete with a full list of BFGs
(Boring Facts for Grannies) the guide covers everything from theatres, museums, galleries
and guided tours, to hotels, monuments, restaurants, children's bookshops and football
teams. Solid information on transport, plus easy-to-read maps
mean granny and granddaughter/grandson can use it together, and the nice illustrations and
handy pocket size make it attractive to even those almost allergic to guide books. Fun and
extremely useful. --Lucie Naylor

0948576081
A reader from Turnersville, NJ, USA , 25 October, 1999: The best
guide to London I've ever read.
This is the best guide to London I've ever read. It's very comprehensive and lists places
of historical interest other books miss. It's alphabetical, so very easy to use and gives
instructions on how to get to all destinations by public transport. Also, it gives
"day out" itineraries. I wish Ms. Allen would do an updated version.
