4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Guide!, 20 Oct 2004
By Astolath (Kent, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This review is from: Secret London; Exploring the Hidden City, with Original Walks and Unusual Places to Visit (Globetrotter Walking Guides) (Paperback)
I ordered this book with a view to planning a day of walking around the city with a friend. There are several walks planned out for you, with details of places of interest, places to stop for refreshment etc. The only problem was that, on the particular route we followed around St. Pauls, the map didn't appear to be 100% accurate and we had to rely on our backup copy of the A-Z. Not a huge problem, in fact it's sometimes fun to drift slightly off course just for the satisfaction of finding your way back again. This is probably partly due to the fact that London seems to be continually changing and most maps are out of date as soon as they are published.

A good guide book, but just make sure you've got an A to Z handy as well!

4.0 out of 5 stars An essential book for those who love exploring London, 5 Jan 2002
What a great book! It is full of fascinating facts and information that your average London guide book doesn't give you! It made me want to explore the city in much more detail! I was rather disappointed to see that the House of Detention in Clerkenwell has actually closed down now, so perhaps the book needs to be updated? Nevertheless, the chapter on all the subterranean tunnels under London, was fascinating - especially the section on disused tube stations. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys discovering the other side of London.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good clear book on the secrets of London, 24 Aug 2002
By Shawade (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
This is a 'nice to have' text rather than a 'must have', a proportion of the book refers to places and things that are not really 'secret', more hidden from public view (elements of the library in parliament for example) which was not really what I was expecting when I ordered it. There are however some excellent walks described in here which are probably worth the purchase price for alone.

First, a warning - things change in London. Don't expect to find everything that you read about in this book - or, at least, don't believe the maps! Read more
