Customer Reviews

Don't go there without it

This review is going to be a very short one. The Time Out guides are almost invariably a great source of valuable information. The London guide is one of the oldest, if not the oldest of the Time Out series, and the amount of expertise and, more importantly, to my mind, off-beat suggestions, e.g., where to find a restaurant specializing in Mongolian Hot Pot, makes it invaluable. There is only a minor problem with the guide; it is revised each year, so that Time Out London from 2005, when it was perfectly good, may have a bit too much outdated information

A little guide with alot of information

I really like the look and how compact this book is for travel. You don't need another book. It's packed with information and you almost don't need to buy the Time Out London Mazagine if you plan ahead.

Thorough, but not well organized.

Time Out guides are awesome, always. They are the best city guides. Unfortunately, this guide wasn't that well organized. Other Time Out guides are organized by area and within the section about the area there is a map, what to do, where to shop and where to eat. This guide is organized by sightseeing, entertainment and food, so you constantly have to flip back and forth through the book to find info....It is still better then any other guide, though, and if you supplement it with the weekly Time Out in London, you will have a great time

Fantastic guide to London but the print in the index is microscopic

We just got back from a fantastic trip to London. We brought several guide books with us but Time Out London proved to be the only one we needed -- except for the fact that the type size in the index is microscopic -- and therefore completely unusable. I mention this because anyone over the age of 30 will have great difficulty using this index without a magnifying device. It's too bad they do this to save a couple pages, because the index is crucial to getting the most out of this guide book.

Best London Guide -- by far!

I have several trips to London in the last 5 years or so, and the Time Out guide is the only book of any use to the savvy traveler who has already seen the basic sites. It has out of the way museums and attractions that even locals don't know about. I find that I have seen fascinating parts of London that even tour guides haven't seen. Anxiously awaiting the '98 edition. PS--you can pick up the London weekly magazine Time Out in larger US bookstores. Find a copy before your next trip across the pond to get up to the minute theatre and event listings.
