Truly a well-written and informative piece of work that is helping to make the initial preparation for my potential relocation to London through a job transfer a little less nervous. I truly appreciate the breakdown of each borough as well as the additional resources (websites, contact info, maps) that aid in providing more detailed information. This is definately a great buy. This edition may be a little outdated in certain areas as there have been so many changes regarding the housing market and the regeneration of certain areas which I witnessed on my last trip to London in Sept. 2007. So I can't wait for the new edition to come out. Truly worth it though for the other information that would pretty much stay the same.
