 Rating:  - Concise, efficientThis guide gives all the right information, not too much and not too little, as well as good maps. I liked the maps this guide gives better than the "London A to Z" map, at least from a tourist's perspective. Rating:  - Good but room for improvementI normally have no complaints about Lonely Planet books - I've used them repeatedly.

A place described as Italian with mains costing 7-p pounds actually turned out to be a Mediterranean tapas place and ending up costing 40 pounds per person. I would agree with a previous ...

It was very helpful, contained just the right amount of information, and gave useful suggestions of what to do with my limited time. I was a little disappointed with the lack of budget accomodations included in the book (hence the four stars instead of five) but otherwise, all of the recommendations I followed were great.
