AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME

I am right at the moment in London. I've done walks #18 and #19. Today I'm going on walk #13. I'm addicted to this book because it doesn't only guide you to go to the same old sites. Of course it recommends that you go into the Tower of London for example. However, this book focuses on items off the beaten path. I bought Frommer's London 2009 book as well, which guides you to all the most popular tourist destinations. Don't expect that from this book though. 24 Walks explains destinations in a very brief blurb. So, if you are looking for more extensive explanations and more popular places get the London 2009 book. If you want a more FUN and QUIRKY book, go for 24 Walks. On a final note, I just want to say that the person(s) who wrote 24 Walks has explained every single turn and crossing you have to make in such detail that you cannot get lost, especially that each walk also comes with a very detailed map. I would also recommend that you do not only rely on this book for your trip to London. You will definitely benefit from the more basic London 2009 book. Use 24 walks as an added addition to London 2009.
