This was my first time picking up a Lonely Planet guide and it did not disappoint. Engaging, well-researched, with "insider" info and the right mix of cultural and historical details peppered in, this is more like getting the scoop from a friend than reading a travel guide. Definitely would recommend if you plan on staying more than a few days. I'll be taking this one with me when I go!

Excellent travel guide from Lonley Planet. I have yet to go to London, but this is the guide I would use for information on how to travel, what to see there, etc. The guide contains up to date information on London containing the airport and other transportation hubs necessary for a smooth trip there and advice on where to stay, eat, see, etc. As an added bonus, there is information on the modern London, as well as the historical London which contains some of the most fascinating buildings including Windsor Castle and others. A great guide, recommended.

Lonely Planet is always my go-to guide to decide what to see.

Very helpful.

This is a good introductory guide to the biggest things to see and do in London. The maps were a little lacking, but suggested itineraries were good.

As always the best guide you can get with all the information you need.

good book

As always, very helpful guide book for an upcoming trip to London. Lonely Planet guide books are always my favorite resource for trip planning, and I find them invaluable. If you're using other books, stop and give LP a try!

Some good tips, some the same as every other book.

It was my first London's guidebook, even though I was there before. It's Lonely Planet, so it can't be bad. It's written lightly, in a concise and informative way. I liked it and learned some new things from it. It's a good book for someone who knows something about London already and for someone, who is new to that wonderful city.

This book is really informative and has many ideas about what to do and stay around London. I would recommend reading a lonely plant guide on the place you want to go before going there.

Fantastic travel guide. Quite handy and portable with loads of information on history, restaurants, hotels, things to do and see, and more. Ended up using the pull-out map quite a bit and wrote lots of notes. Would definitely recommend using this to help plan a trip to London.
