London Letters: Featuring 26 Pull-Out Maps of Popular London Neighbourhoods: From Angel to ZSL London Zoo, Discover Where to Eat, Drink and Explore

replacement item came AGAIN without the maps - outside holder only....

'London Letters: From Angel to ZSL London Zoo, Discover Where to Eat, Drink and Explore' by LucyLovesThis is an unconvetional guidebook.It's part insider guide and part art project. All the areas around London are assigned a letter, then the book proceeds from A to Z. For each area, there is a bucket list of things to do and see. The letter is drawn out with highlights of the area. A loose map of the area is then shown with highlights and transit stops, then a recap of stations, food and drink, landmarks, and things to look for in the area.I don't know how well this would work as a guide for a first time visitor since it's presented in an A to Z fashion, but I loved how it was done. It also feels like the recommendations are a bit like you'd get from a local and not from a guidebook. I really had fun paging through this book, and I really liked the illustrations.I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Grou-Rock Point, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

All things BritishI am an Anglophile. I love all things British. Give me all the Union Jacks, Agatha Christie (I adore Miss Marple!), the Crown, James Bond, Emma Bridgewater, Cath Kidston, scones with jam, fish and chips etc., and I am one happy girl! So when I saw this new guidebook of London, I was thrilled! A unique conceptThis is a guidebook for London. So, what's new? Well, the format!This guidebook is a set of 26 folded cards / 26 pull-out maps, neatly packaged in a slipcase, featuring illustrated letters of the alphabet which refer to landmarks of London. If you reverse each card, you will find at the back a checklist of suggestions what to do/see/eat/drink in that particular area. The perfect gift for:yourself or your friend who is travelling to London.your child who is leaving in September to attend a British University and is moving to London.your Londoner friend who wants to explore his/her city.your friend who collects travel guides.your Londoner friend who is enjoying this summer a staycation.anyone who wants to see London off the beaten track.It will definitely make their day! It is definitely unique and fun!

This is a fun guide book to London for armchair travels or real travels. Each letter of the alphabet corresponds to a Neighborhood in London. Included are directions to the neighborhood, what to see, do, shop and eat and where to go next. This is an original concept and includes a lot of places not included in your typical guide books. This will make a great gift for the traveler on your list. Have fun

This is one of the most creative travel books I've ever had. I think this is the PERFECT gift for someone planning a trip to London, especially if they're fun and a little funky. It's also the perfect gift for yourself, if you're planning a trip. This book is unlike any other travel book I've personally read--it's colorful and very visual. Each neighborhood map is a pull-out card. The author has followed the familiar A to Z format....each letter is a neighborhood, accompanied by a brief bucket list for that neighborhood and the "map" with illustrations of the highlights of that neighborhood. Note: these are not "to scale" maps that you would use for navigation...these are more..."flavor" illustrations of a neighborhood. The major streets are there, and the various "highlights" are illustrated approximately where they are...but this book is for the adventurer...the explorer. You want to wander a bit, find these things, but notice other things along the way. This book will not teach you about London history, or the London art scene or the Royals...but it will help you explore London in a sort of "choose your own adventure" sort of way that I think is really lovely and creative and pretty brilliant. It's been many years since I've been to London and paging through this book has me itching to go back, pull some of these cards and just...wander.I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.

Do you think that you know London? Would you like to visit all of the different neighborhoods, either in reality or your imagination? Do you like the idea of a quirky, absolutely beautifully illustrated book? I hope that you answer yes because this is a fantastic book. Each neighborhood has an illustration with the first letter of its name, followed by an illustration of places to see. After this, the reader can look at a page full of information; each neighborhood listing includes a place for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a place for coffee and drinks. Local landmarks and shopping venues are listed along with quirky spots to visit, shopping spots, gardens, lesser known museums, etc. I want to hop on a plane today! Very highly recommended.Thanks Quarto and NetGalley!!
