About this Item

Experience London the local way with this insider's guideWe love London, with its sprawling parks, world-famous museums and historic palaces. But what's beyond the well-trodden sights? Craft breweries pouring pints under railway arches, art galleries hosting late-night DJ sets, open-air lidos welcoming hardy swimmers (whatever the weather) - we could go on. There's so much more to London than the National Gallery and London Eye, and who better to show you around than the locals? This gorgeous insider's guide is packed with recommendations from Londoners in the know, helping you to discover all their favourite hangouts and hidden haunts. Of course, with a city as storied as London we could fill the pages of this book tenfold. Rather, London Like a Local offers a snapshot of local life, and it's yours for the taking. Whether you're a Londoner looking to uncover your city's secrets or a traveller seeking an authentic experience beyond the tourist track, this stylish guide helps you to experience the real side of London.
