This was the longest guide book yet and the most complicated itinerary I’ve made so far since London has so much to do and see。 I highly suggest reading this book for exceptional references before exploring London。 There’s also a section on the history of London that I found to be extremely useful。 This guide book is for everyone - it covers art, museums, sports, drinking, royalty, music, and much, much more。 Thanks Lonely Planet!London, I’m ready to go!
Suzi,
I'm planning several trips for next year and I want to choose the best guide to take along。 This is detailed and interesting and thorough but larger and heavier than I would want to carry。 It is perfect for planning a trip and I will buy one。 I am checking several more out from the library's I'll be reporting on those, too。 I'm planning several trips for next year and I want to choose the best guide to take along。 This is detailed and interesting and thorough but larger and heavier than I would want to carry。 It is perfect for planning a trip and I will buy one。 I am checking several more out from the library's I'll be reporting on those, too。 。。。more

Great ResourceLonely Planet does a great job of compiling everything one needs to know about a city then presenting it in an appealing way。 One feels well prepared, but also able to easily refer to any of the guides for reference。
Melina,
Very useful guide to the city of London。 Great recommendations by neighborhood plus detailed guides and visuals for numerous landmarks and historical palaces。 The maps are helpful and the history sections are insightful。 I've used this guide on two separate trips and wouldn't leave home without it!

Gwen,
Solid introduction to London with a great history/culture section。 Doesn't have quite the distinctive "voice" as other travel guides do (like the Moon guides), if that's something you notice。 Added to my London list: William Morris' Red House and the Design Museum。 Solid introduction to London with a great history/culture section。 Doesn't have quite the distinctive "voice" as other travel guides do (like the Moon guides), if that's something you notice。 Added to my London list: William Morris' Red House and the Design Museum。 。。。more

Один из лучших путеводителей по Лондону, к сожалению, русское издание устарело на 5 лет, но по главным вопросам вполне можно довериться
Deb Stern,
I personally like lonely planet series。
Julier,
I am enjoying read this book in the kindle edition。 I like being able to click on links and taken to particular things of interest。 I don't find it easy to go back to where I was before I clicked on a link。 I think I've gotten a good overview of London and would find it helpful to plan day trips there and know more about places and buildings。 I am enjoying read this book in the kindle edition。 I like being able to click on links and taken to particular things of interest。 I don't find it easy to go back to where I was before I clicked on a link。 I think I've gotten a good overview of London and would find it helpful to plan day trips there and know more about places and buildings。 。。。more

As always the best guide you can get with all the information you need。
Natalie,
A quick read。 Very informative and lots of great information!! This gave me lots of great tips and ideas of things I want to do when I’m in London!
Dorotea,
Lonely Planet is always my go-to guide to decide what to see。

Very helpful。

I've trusted "Lonely Planet" guides with my life for over 10 years, and content-wise they have never failed me。 In preparation for a trip to London this coming summer, I picked up an updated guide to the city。 For the most part, it maintains its usual standard, but I must admit I was disappointed with the detachable map for the first time。 The details are far too small, with some important areas cut off。 Several of the maps in the rear of the guide are also printed awkwardly, with the decision t I've trusted "Lonely Planet" guides with my life for over 10 years, and content-wise they have never failed me。 In preparation for a trip to London this coming summer, I picked up an updated guide to the city。 For the most part, it maintains its usual standard, but I must admit I was disappointed with the detachable map for the first time。 The details are far too small, with some important areas cut off。 Several of the maps in the rear of the guide are also printed awkwardly, with the decision to print some of them across the binding rendering them partially unreadable。 The tube map is also much more microscopic and less-user friendly than in the past。 These little irritations keep an otherwise excellent guide from reaching 5 stars。 The competition is starting to catch up, and I think "Lonely Planet" needs to avoid complacency。 。。。more
Magda,
Pretty good guide but in the midst of London traffic turmoil I realized that the tube map was not included。 Surprise! Otherwise very good tips useful for thorough planning of a great trip。
Amy,
This is a good introductory guide to the biggest things to see and do in London。 The maps were a little lacking, but suggested itineraries were good。
Tri Le,
Fantastic travel guide。 Quite handy and portable with loads of information on history, restaurants, hotels, things to do and see, and more。 Ended up using the pull-out map quite a bit and wrote lots of notes。 Would definitely recommend using this to help plan a trip to London。
Diana,
Non si smette mai di trovare nuove cose da vedere!! Adoro Londra!
Callum,
This book is really informative and has many ideas about what to do and stay around London。 I would recommend reading a lonely plant guide on the place you want to go before going there。
patrycja polczyk,
It was my first London's guidebook, even though I was there before。 It's Lonely Planet, so it can't be bad。 It's written lightly, in a concise and informative way。 I liked it and learned some new things from it。 It's a good book for someone who knows something about London already and for someone, who is new to that wonderful city。 It was my first London's guidebook, even though I was there before。 It's Lonely Planet, so it can't be bad。 It's written lightly, in a concise and informative way。 I liked it and learned some new things from it。 It's a good book for someone who knows something about London already and for someone, who is new to that wonderful city。 。。。more

Heerlijk! In de voorbereiding op een mooie trip deze zomer de Lonely Planet van Londen lezen is een genot。 Niet alleen heb ik weer van alles geleerd over de geschiedenis van Londen; zeker ook de actualiteit komt ruim aan bod。
Beth,
This guide is a useful resource for researching hotel, restaurant, shopping and attraction options while in London。 While the Lonely Planet does contain a section, toward the end of this guide, for such practical concerns for less experienced travelers, such as tipping, getting around the city, currency exchange, etc, it felt a bit brief and rushed。 With that in mind, I plan to also check out Rick Steves' London guide, as well。 This guide is a useful resource for researching hotel, restaurant, shopping and attraction options while in London。 While the Lonely Planet does contain a section, toward the end of this guide, for such practical concerns for less experienced travelers, such as tipping, getting around the city, currency exchange, etc, it felt a bit brief and rushed。 With that in mind, I plan to also check out Rick Steves' London guide, as well。 。。。more

Ashley,
This was my first time picking up a Lonely Planet guide and it did not disappoint。 Engaging, well-researched, with "insider" info and the right mix of cultural and historical details peppered in, this is more like getting the scoop from a friend than reading a travel guide。 Definitely would recommend if you plan on staying more than a few days。 I'll be taking this one with me when I go!

You guys, one week from today I'm going to London for the first time ever OMG OMG OMG OMG。 Anyone want to tell me about amazing places to visit and neighborhoods to stroll through and foods to eat and things to do? The quirkier and stranger and underground-er the better。 You guys, one week from today I'm going to London for the first time ever OMG OMG OMG OMG。 Anyone want to tell me about amazing places to visit and neighborhoods to stroll through and foods to eat and things to do?

I've always loved Lonely Planet's books。 I read this - cover to cover! - before my trip to London earlier this year。Good recommendations, accurate maps, updated listings。 Very useful even for a second timer like me。The only thing I wished from LP books (or rather all travel guidebooks) is that they cover halal restaurants as well。But hey, that's where the internet comes handy :) I've always loved Lonely Planet's books。 I read this - cover to cover! - before my trip to London earlier this year。Good recommendations, accurate maps, updated listings。 Very useful even for a second timer like me。The only thing I wished from LP books (or rather all travel guidebooks) is that they cover halal restaurants as well。But hey, that's where the internet comes handy :) 。。。more

L'edizione a colori è sicuramente più accattivante alla vista e rende la consultazione ancora più rapida ed intuitiva。La riorganizzazione grafica evidenzia però anche dei difetti。 Il primo è l'assenza della mappa pieghevole presente nelle edizioni precedenti, di cui si sente ancor di più la mancanza considerando che nelle cartine "zona per zona" a fine volume la maggior parte delle vie appare senza alcuna denominazione。 Il secondo è che se ora la guida appare più ordinata e gradevole, la nuova g L'edizione a colori è sicuramente più accattivante alla vista e rende la consultazione ancora più rapida ed intuitiva。La riorganizzazione grafica evidenzia però anche dei difetti。 Il primo è l'assenza della mappa pieghevole presente nelle edizioni precedenti, di cui si sente ancor di più la mancanza considerando che nelle cartine "zona per zona" a fine volume la maggior parte delle vie appare senza alcuna denominazione。 Il secondo è che se ora la guida appare più ordinata e gradevole, la nuova grafica fighetta influisce su una riduzione dei contenuti effettivi della guida。 Perciò la guida è esaustiva solo nel caso programmiate una visita "toccata e fuga" ai luoghi più noti e turistici della città。 In caso contrario, se la vostra visita vuole essere più curata, è necessario integrare le informazioni (anche quelle riguardo i luoghi "da non perdere") con ricerche preventive su internet o con l'ausilio di una seconda guida。 。。。more
