DK Eyewitness Travel Guides: London

This is a very eye-pleasing guide, lots of lovely photos, and the information is broken down very neatly by area. I liked the street-by-street views of the major sections of London, and of course the pull-out map at the back is a neat addition (also invaluable, since it depicts the Underground). The only real downside is that it's actually kind of heavy for a guidebook, and if you're planning to load up your suitcase with souvenirs, you may have to take that into consideration!

This is a much more enjoyable London travel guide than the last one I read, with the information arranged very well and easy to follow.

Ik vond dit een leuke, informatieve gids om mee te nemen op reis naar Londen. Hoewel ik zelf maar een dagje geweest ben, en dus nog niet een honderste heb kunnen doen van wat er allemaal geschreven is, geeft het toch allemaal een heel leuk gevoel om het allemaal alleen eens te lezen. Deze compacte serie is gelukkig niet zo zwaar en duur als de normale Capitool gidsen, wat meenemen of vakantie lekker makkelijk maakt! Hoezee!

This guide is beautifully illustrated and my only comment is that it's a bit heavy to walk around with. It makes good reading before the trip to get a sense of where you might want to visit and the lay of the land.

Highly informative, beautifully illustrated, and easy to navigate, this DK Eyewitness Travel Guide for London is the perfect resource for planning your trip. The 2017 edition provides a brief introduction which puts the city in its historical context. Attractions and points of interest are discussed by geographical area with maps and photos to help you get your logistical bearings. The Survival Guide section enables you to understand the basic elements of getting around London, and the Street Finder maps, fold-out map, Underground map, and extensive index round out this impressive travel guide.

Eyewitness guides are the best. Like the Access guides they divide a city into neighborhoods and "walks."

Very useful guide for visiting London.
