London has been luring visitors for two millennia now – and it's pretty adept at showing them a good time. Experience world-class museums and galleries, royal palaces and parks and London's hidden "village" life, plus the best shopping in Europe, and be entertained every night with fantastic theater, music, comedy and cinema, and enviable restaurants, bars, pubs and clubs.
This guide is packed with ideas for exploring royal, literary and riverside London and finding fascinating corners of the city come rain or shine! It takes you off the tourist trail to the London only the locals know – from vibrant markets to top-class exhibition spaces and mouthwatering gastropubs.
Our expert author and local researchers give the lowdown on the city, from the ancient Tower of London to the Millennium Bridge. 145 hotels, 240 restaurants and 215 pubs, plus theater, ballet, opera, comedy and festivals – all personally reviewed. 25 detailed maps, plus 16 pages of full-color maps with grid-references to help you find every sight and recommendation in the guide. Also included are itineraries and guided walks to tempt you through London's maze of streets, via Shakespeare, modern art and the wilds of Hampstead Heath, and show you how to live it up, London-style.
