Summary: This One is All You Need
Comment: ~I checked out just about all the london travel books at the book store, and decided to purchase just one - this one - before my trip. This book is slim - about 4.25 inches X 7.75 inches X .33 of an inch - and will fit easily in a purse. It has very useful maps of London, including a subway map (or, as the English say, a map of the underground). It has all the information you'll need for your trip, including travel from the airport to the city, tipping, hotels, shopping, restaurants,~~ entertainment, and, of course, the sights. The book devotes 20 pages to "Highlights" - the major tourist attractions. If you want to bring only one travel book to London, this should be the one!~

Summary: Practical and Helpful Guide to London
Comment: I have always been a fan of the Lonely Planet books, having recently used the Lonely Planet Iceland and Greenland book to great effect. I like this London guide because it is a nice size (easy to carry) and is full of genuinely useful information.
I particularly like the very detailed maps in the back of the book (there are 16 color maps in addition to the tube map and a few other handy things back there). The maps make planning itineraries much easier than if they are spread throughout the book. One minor quibble about the maps, though: the maps are of excellent detail, but cover relatively small geographic areas. That's ideal for detail, except for the fact that there is very little orienting information about how the various maps fit together. It's not a huge deal, but is the only real room for improvement that I saw in the book.
As far as information goes, the hotel and restaurant stuff is pretty standard fare, but the information on sights and attractions is wonderful. I am especially fond of the "Highlights and Lowlights" sections which point out the things generally of highest import to a tourist. Of course, there is substantial information on other things, but this 'do not miss' feature is great. I was also especially pleased with the detailed public transport information including the tube, trains, taxis, buses, and all five airports (and how to get to and from them.)
In short, I am really impressed with this latest edition of the Lonely Planet London book, and will definitely be packing it when I go to England next.

Summary: Perfect Size and Great Highlights
Comment: One of the few guides that you can actually slip into a purse or bag and utilize. Convenient tube and location maps on both the inner and outer flaps that were extremely helpful. Although I was staying with a friend and did not use it for accomodation or food, I did find the highlights of things to see in London very informative and interesting. Particularly---they highlight a "not to miss" list at particular sights, which made certain gallery viewing all the more interesting. Take this book along and buy a current Time Out magazine for up to date restaurant choices.
