Great Compact Guide

If you're looking for a compact general guide to London this is a good bet. While it's not pocket sized it can easily fit in a purse or jacket pocket. The book gives a good guide to the neighborhoods and I felt oriented after reading it. The "Where to Stay" and "Where to Dine" sections are quite abbreviated, so you might want to buy an additional guide just on Accommodations or Food (I recommend "Cheap Eats"). The "Exploring London" section easily gives enough information for a couple week trip, detailed but concise. It also gives "insider tips" on many of the most popular sites. There are also sections on Nightlife (including Theater) and Shopping (especially helpful). Overall, highly recommended!
