A different look at London, 10 April 2001
By "moonglow22" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Amateur Historian's Guide to Medieval and Tudor London (Paperback)
Anyone who has ever been to London knows all the basics--The Tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace--but this book takes you off the beaten path to some of the lesser known but still exciting places to vivist in London. The quirky stories behind the places are great, and I really appreciated all of the useful information, like hours of operation and admission costs. I can't wait for my next trip to London so I can use this fantastic guide some more!

mapping the way, 18 Jan 2005
By Linda Pagliuco "katknit" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Amateur Historian's Guide to Medieval and Tudor London (Paperback)
Travellers on the trail of history in London know how frustrating it can be to locate Tudor and medieval places still in existence in that busy, crowded, vibrant, thoroughly modern city. Last year we spent a week with this guide in hand, feeling a bit Sherlockian in our quest. Even with the detailed directions provided by the authors, finding most of these hidden, nearly forgotten sites was a challenge. But with persistence and patience, our efforts were rewarded. What fun! Couldn't have done it without this guide. But if you aren't particularly interested in the places, the era, and the difficult pursuit, better not bother.

An traveler's book of British history and then some...., 13 Mar 2001
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Amateur Historian's Guide to Medieval and Tudor London (Paperback)
While planning an upcoming trip to London, I stumbled across this new title and have been delighted with its very refreshing approach to British history and travel. I don't necessarily consider myself a history buff, but this book's anecdotal approach to the(sometimes quirky) history behind some well known and lesser known tourist sites is quite interesting. For me, this title has also served as a jumping off point to more scholarly tomes related to my trip. This would be good for the armchair traveler as well.
