I travel to London in two weeks, and I cannot wait to visit many of the pubs described in these pages. The book reviews 115 pubs, with full color pictures, histories, fun stories, etc., as well as gives information on how to find them and what kind of beers they sell. The book is divided into sections of town, but I also found helpful the "if you like" section. This has the best pubs for good real ale, architectural elements, historical significance and so on. If you love pubs as I do (and as the author does) you will love to have this book to digest. Of course, you will disagree on his list--why he leaves some that you dearly love out and why he included a few--but it's fun to discover new places to visit. The detailed introduction alone, which includes some basic pub history, is worth the price of the book.
