March 02, 2009: This guidebook is comprehensive and informative. Used it on recent short trip to London. Explains best tickets for tube, great section on theater tickets,etc, does the usual mini-tours of major sights, etc. Nice section on daytrips out of London. I do wish that he included more lodging and restaurant suggestions... they are by neighborhood, which is great, but could have used a few more choices in these categories. The two restaurants we tried that he had mentioned were very good.... although kind of full of Americans... (guess they had the same guidebook!)Overall, easy to use and well-written.
