You guys, one week from today I'm going to London for the first time ever OMG OMG OMG OMG.
Anyone want to tell me about amazing places to visit and neighborhoods to stroll through and foods to eat and things to do? The quirkier and stranger and underground-er the better.
No es lo que buscaba... Guía de Londres sin la parte más importante de una guía (que son los sitios interesantes que ver y que no hay que perderse). No sirve para planear un viaje... Habla de: Historia, Arquitectura, Londres literario, Teatro y danza, Arte y moda, Panorama musical, Cine y medios de comunicación, Transporte; para tener un conocimiento general sobre la historia y cultura de la ciudad.
This guide is a useful resource for researching hotel, restaurant, shopping and attraction options while in London. While the Lonely Planet does contain a section, toward the end of this guide, for such practical concerns for less experienced travelers, such as tipping, getting around the city, currency exchange, etc, it felt a bit brief and rushed. With that in mind, I plan to also check out Rick Steves' London guide, as well.
Yes, London is a big city and there's a lot to cover, but everytime I wanted to look up a certain restaurant or find a bar near me this guide was severely lacking. Also, probably not really the book I needed while debating becoming a resident, this guide clearly (as it should) focuses on the tourists point of view.
