5.0 out of 5 stars A great book for a great city, 28 July 2003

By	Juerg Mueller (Wallisellen, ZH Schweiz) - See all my reviews

This book is a real pleasure. It can be used for reference, or just to dip into. There are some differences between the story here and that from other sources, but I am not in a position to say who is right.

One important point is that it is big and heavy, not really what I would describe as portable, and it is structured as a reference work. What I am saying is that this book is not a tourist/visitor guide, but really an encyclopaedia.

This book has given me many hours of fun, and much knowledge. I agree with the idea of making it compulsory that every taxi should have one. If you want to learn about London, then this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very useful and enjoyable reference book, 19 Dec 2000

By	inwood@cableinet.co.uk (London) - See all my reviews

This is a wonderful reference book, and deserves its great success. Anyone wanting to know about a particular street or building will find the information they need here. The reviewer who says it contains many serious mistakes needs to give some examples. I have found it reliable and trustworthy, as well as enjoyable to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A much anticipated update does not disappoint, 13 Aug 2008

By	P. A. Alford "Moneygirl" (Fakenham, Norfolk United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The London Encyclopaedia (3rd Edition) (Hardcover)

as a Londoner who bought the original edition back in the 80's, my original copy is well thumbed and has brought me many hours of pleasure exploring the origins and history of a great capital city.

This much anticipated third revision does not disappoint and if anyone wants to invest in a book about London that you can keep forever and return to it again and again and gain knowledge, information and pleasure then this is the one to invest in.
