London (Footprint Travel Guide Series) Book

London, with its diverse mix of people and its historic yet outrageously modern atmosphere, is a city that can easily overpower visitors. Written by a native Londoner, and with comprehensive area-by-area coverage, this authoritative guide makes London's urban jungle more manageable. Twenty-five maps ? including highlight maps to get the best from the city ? and lively, informed descriptions of sights, entertainment, and restaurants are included. It highlights London's cathedrals, abbeys, grand government buildings, majestic concert halls, and ultra-modern museums, as well as its many shopping opportunities. An exceptional background section provides everything travelers need to know to understand the city's heritage. A wide range of accommodation information, from youth hostels to luxury hotels, help visitors find the best place to stay for their budget. Separate sections describe areas outside of London and each of the city's districts, such as Piccadilly and Soho. Many entertaining mini-features of London, often overlooked, are covered along with information on primary tourist destinations like Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey.Read More
