Customer Reviews

Reccommended
Another good rough guide. Very informative, pointing out pieces of information and places to see (that may other wise have been missed), in addition to the obvious grand attractions.

Very helpful!
I use this book each time I go to London. It is very complete, very helpful. As always, the Rough Guide series never disppoints me.
