Excellent

My wife, 3-year old son and I spent six months in London. We took 4 separate city guides with us, but consistently referred to the Unofficial Guide for the base of our information. Not only did we develop confidence in the recommendations (museums, restaurants, parks, transportation, and even medical assistance), we found the book easy to understand and navigate. I thank Lesley Logan and her publisher for an excellent book.

Thanks for the great guidebook!!

London turned out to be one of those places that I really enjoyed....and I believe it was made more enjoyable because we had done some research and planning before going. The Unofficial Guide provided information other than the mainstream stuff you read in all the other books. It added interested pieces of information that made even the planning process a pleasant one.

A literate travel guide!

This book is worth the price of admission just for the History of London section. Wittily scribed, with a great - and fun - sense of place. Logan's style is breezy, economical, yet thorough. Three Cheerios for this London Guide written by a Yank!

Great writing & great information

The Unofficial Guides are a great travel guide series and their Guide to London is the series at its best. The writer has really captured the flavor of London and has the unique perspective of being an American who lives in London and knows it well but who also knows what it's like to be a visitor. Includes some great out-of-the-way recommendations and is particularly strong on museums and on traveling with children. I recommend it highly, we never went anywhere without it!

TERRIFIC!

Simple, informative and ingratiating, reading this book was like having a wise and witty friend guide us through one of the world's great cities. The brief history section alone is worth the price. Probably the best travel book we've ever bought.
