5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Compliment to A Comprehensive Guide, 1 Sep 2003
By 
Stephen Beck (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Gay London: A Guide (The London guides) (Paperback)
If you're a gay man who doesn't know London well, buy this book. Gay London offers a selective and manageable list of what to do and see in London-both what's nominally gay and what some gay men look for (e.g., art museums). I finished the book thinking that Gay London was what the four authors would recommend to their out-of-town friends.

Presented more as a travelogue, the authors identify and describe what they like about London. The writing is clever and the book is well organized. The book is also wallet size, which meant I could carry it around easily and pull it out to read whenever I had a free moment. Most convenient.

HOWEVER:

1. If you don't know London well, you will need another guide, because Gay London is highly selective--thus leaves out a lot of information.

2. This book is for gay men. Thankfully, the authors make that clear on the outside back cover.

2.0 out of 5 stars What a strange "guide book", 13 Sep 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gay London: A Guide (The London guides) (Paperback)
As a previous reviewer noted, the guide reviews only two restaurants and two hotels. How very strange then that the reviewers selected two restaurants and two hotels that they did not particularly like. The reviews of all places are so mixed that I wouldn't bother with any of them. So based on this guide, now I am down to 0 restaurants or hotels that I would try. Why bother? Or why not list places that the reviewers liked? For me, the guide was a total waste of mony.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not impressed, 21 Aug 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gay London: A Guide (The London guides) (Paperback)
This guide is so selective it's nearly useless. For example, there is no broad overview of London's gay neighborhoods, and only two hotel and restaurant recommendations each. Surely London has more to offer gay travelers than that! While the recommendations that are provided are well written and informative, I still have no concept of how I could spend a week in London other than going spot-by-spot to the various individual businesses listed here.
