1.0 out of 5 stars curiousity, 13 Feb 2002

By	Clive Pacey "clivexxxx" (london) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: London (Lonely Planet City Guide) (Paperback)

out of curiousity,following some publicity, I had a good look at this guide and whilst i am London born and bred I am not starry eyed about the city of my birth.
However, maybe I wasnt born there after all because the city portrayed in this sour little guide is not recogisable to me or I would imagine millions of others.
The shame of it is that this might serve to put people off visiting a unique city, but then again maybe not
you sense that the authors had their minds made up before they even tackled the subject, which is really not the point of the exercise
Ignore this rubbish and head for one of the Time Out guides, which are balanced and intelligent

1.0 out of 5 stars A mean sprited guide, 21 Jan 2003

By	Andy Shember (Manchester) - See all my reviews

This review is from: London (Lonely Planet City Guide) (Paperback)

I am generally a fan of the Lonely Planet guide books, but this one is just dreadfull. It's mean spirited, pedantic, cliche reliant and badly written. We all know that London isn't the clean, sparkling well ordered city that say Paris or Berlin aim to be, but thats half the charm. The city is slightly chaotic and rough around the edges, but this guide trys to make out that this is a failing. If you have read this book and you are reluctant to visit London, buy a better guide book, don't miss out on one of the greatest cities in the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book! Great if you want a Pocket guide to london, 19 Jul 2003

By	Jemma G (Jersey C.I (British Isles)) - See all my reviews

This review is from: London (Lonely Planet Condensed Guides) (Paperback)

This book offers brilliant advice on where to go and where not to go. This guy seems like he has actually been to all the places. It is set out in an easy to read way. It is colour coded and has 6 maps in the front and back covers! They are all very detailed, include street names, train stations and it has the underground map. Its all you need to know on where to stay, eat, shop and visit. It even has sections just for kids! I would advise anyone to buy this book!
