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.

Always a pleasure, London!

I really love the Lonely Planet travel guides. I buy them every time I'm traveling to a new city.

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

Una guida di Londra molto ricca (e aggiornata, questa è l'edizione del 2006).

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

Usually I get these in hard back because I am not that good on my phone

However, I learned to scan pages on this trip in the Kindle app and it works

Found some great entertainment and eats thanks to this book

I've trusted "Lonely Planet" guides with my life for over 10 years, and content-wise they have never failed me. In preparation for a trip to London this coming summer, I picked up an updated guide to the city. For the most part, it maintains its usual standard, but I must admit I was disappointed with the detachable map for the first time. The details are far too small, with some important areas cut off. Several of the maps in the rear of the guide are also printed awkwardly, with the decision to print some of them across the binding rendering them partially unreadable. The tube map is also much more microscopic and less-user friendly than in the past. These little irritations keep an otherwise excellent guide from reaching 5 stars. The competition is starting to catch up, and I think "Lonely Planet" needs to avoid complacency.

Very helpful.

Great, quick overview and small enough to bring on the trip!

Heerlijk! In de voorbereiding op een mooie trip deze zomer de Lonely Planet van Londen lezen is een genot. Niet alleen heb ik weer van alles geleerd over de geschiedenis van Londen; zeker ook de actualiteit komt ruim aan bod.

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