Customer Reviews

good for price

this handy guide is also great (see streetwise maps for maps). Be sure to review them before you leave to be sure they cover the area you will be in because they are mostly "on the beaten path" items. I suggest also doing research on Frommers.com to be sure you dont miss something not covered in these books. These books are compact and easy to carry while traveling in city. Did not use for the resturaunts that is something that you need to find by exploring or research blogs but these hit the major sites in easy to read categories with simple maps. I would buy these for all my city travels.

Invaluable

I'd like to echo Language Nut's praises of this book. For in-hand, pocketable street guides, Moon Metro London is second to none. Our brief trip to London recently was a breeze as I was able to carry this in my pocket and pull out when necessary, without looking like an obvious tourist. Each district map is detailed enough for walking around the city, and allows you to check where you are without unfolding a 5' by 5' paper map of the entire city. While it did cover the major sights and locales of London, I would suggest using a more detailed guide book for planning purposes. This one was fantastic for taking with you to navigate the city, but prior to the trip you will likely want a more exhaustive guide to the city.

Great book, great maps

This slim 120 page London guide was wonderful for out trip to London. This year I have ordered the Paris guide for out trip there. Each London "neighborhood" (distict section of the city) is briefly covered for conviences and highlights (i.e. hotels, restaurants, amusements, shops and sights) and then fold out into a wonderful laminated street map of the area. The book also contains a section with one page devoted to each major "sight"; and sections on restaurants, shops, city essentials and a street index. A color coded metro is also included at the back of the book. Invaluable book: the most useful that found while in London.
