I've just bought myself a copy of this guide produced by Time Out, and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to find out more about what's going on in one of the world's most exciting cities. As Time Out update the book annually, you can be sure that it contains recent and relevant information.
The book is very well laid out, and covers a number of different areas, including details about which museums are worth visiting, where to stay (be it at a budget or in 5* luxury!), and a guide to the wide variety of restaurants both in central London and on the outskirts. Of course, there's all the really useful information too such as when things are open and admission prices.
There are some good photos of key London landmarks throughout the book. Towards the end of the book, there are some useful street maps of central London, and also a tube map.

Every city I go to in the world I buy a TIMEOUT guide (if one is published). I never thought of the TIMEOUT guide for London as I was English and believed I knew the place reasonably well... I was mistaken. This is superb; I rate TIMEOUT as the best guide by a mile... 5 stars is not high enough!!

Handy, up-to-date guide has multitude of URLs...
18 Jun 2001
When you arrive in London, your first step should be to buy the weekly "what's on" magazine Time Out. Now you can go one better, and before you leave home buy the Time Out London guide.
Updated annually, it covers all the usual topics -- where to stay, where to eat, what to see -- but it is particularly well-written, includes clear directions, and has the wonderful bonus of URLs to an astonishing number of the places it reviews. Want to see the menu of that charming pub in Soho? There's the URL. How about checking on the availability of tickets for a Football match?
An absolutely invaluable guide, to read and research ahead, and to take with you when you go.

Easily the best London guide, with a few caveats
18 Aug 2001
Having read most of the guidebooks on London, I'm inclined to say Time Out's is the best. Reader-friendliness is much improved over previous editions now that they have full-color photos and graphics. With typical British candor, they reveal the truth behind tourist junk like Madame Tussaud's and the Rock Circus (i.e. they should be avoided), and they offer some excellent primers for checking out sights beyond the standard tourist realm. On the other hand, they seem to forget that this is primarily a guide for travelers visiting the city for perhaps a week or two, not a throw-in-the-kitchen-sink book for locals. The guide is perhaps a bit *too* comprehensive, going into levels of minutia that are far too detailed for the average tourist. It also may be a bit too "British" for some American tourists, focusing too much on things of interest to Brits that Americans don't particularly care about. Finally, I intensely dislike two things about this guide: that they employ the same tiny font used in their weekly Time Out magazines, which is difficult even for strong-sighted people to read without squinting, and that (like a number of other guides) they accept ads from businesses listed in the guide, which to me seriously undermines their journalistic objectivity.
