Very readable and useful
My friend bought a copy at the Chelsea Physic Garden ( one of the entries ) and I couldn't put it down so I had to buy a copy for myself. Lots of really interesting places to visit and hidden corners of London to discover. Compact enough to carry around but well illustrated and good to read at home.

Really good find!
My friend recently bought this book and got me intrigued. I've lived in London all my life and didn't know half of the places in the book existed! It's really great if you want to visit London either cheaply or you just want to see some of the more unusual things London has to offer. It's also really interesting just to read and find out some more history about London. I would definitely recommend this book to friends and family.

Super Insidertipps
Super Insidertipps für eine London-Reise fernab der typischen Tourismus-Magneten wie dem Tower und Westminster Abbey. In dem Buch werden Orte eschrieben, die man als Tourist sonst wahrscheinlich nie zu Gesicht bekommen würde, einfach weil man nicht weiß, dass es sie gibt und sie durchaus einen Besuch wert sind. Ich werde mir auf meiner nächsten London-Reise den einen oder anderen Ort aus dem Buch ansehen, da mich die Beschreibungen sehr neugierig gemacht haben.

Molto bello
Preso come regalo per una mia amica che lo ha molto apprezzato. Contiene informazioni diverse dalle solite guide turistiche delle città. Piccolo, sta comodo nella borsa per una vacanza nella capitale del Regno Unito.

Splendid and compact guide to less-reviewed places
The book is slender and easily-packed or carried.Very pleasing design and format, also. Many less-than-commonly-covered ideas, sites and sights are covered. Descriptions are brief and pleasant. I was cued to the Hunterian Museum in Lincoln's Inn Field by this guide. That suberb and, to me, incredibly important museum (perhaps the analogue of the Museum of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the USA) doesn't even rate a mention in other guides I've used and doesn't appear on some mapping programs, though the Sir John Soames museum across the park always appears. I am so grateful for this guide's tip to what I otherwise would have missed. This may not be a guide for a first-time visitor to London... or it might, if one doesn't want to follow the usual and expected routes but would like, instead, a number of other more personally-selected rewards. Oh, and it's a terrific bargain.
