Summary: take notes
Comment: If you see something in this book, remember it, because the index is basically useless. I read something I wanted to return to and have flipped through 100 times trying to find it again to no avail.

Summary: Great book for College Students
Comment: This book is NOT for you if you're interested in traditional budget travel. If you're interested in hostels, partying at pubs and clubs and want to do it cheap this might be the best bet. It's a very specified travel guide for young travelers...and I mean late teens early twenties. I'm 28 and traveling to London for a week w/ my husband, and I found much of the material pretty irrelevant to our situation.
I also got Frommer's Portable London 2007 and highly recommend that!

Summary: Good Book with Format Problems
Comment: This is the book you want if you're a student, working-class type, or arty bohemian who wants to see London. It's a good guide to the affordable residences, night life, fine art venues, and everything else that makes you want to visit London on a budget. It gives frank appraisals of West End shows, steers you toward the best galleries in the best museums, and tells you where you can get a high-class meal on a tight budget. Everything is broken down by neighborhood, so you can plan your itinerary so everything you take in on a certain day is reasonably close together. And it even gives you pointers on how to find work, volunteer opportunities, and academic programs if you're dissatisfied with just doing the same old tourist baloney.

The twin problems this book suffers are physical: it's too big and the type is too small. The dimensions of the book are too large to fit in a pocket, so you'll have to carry it in your attache case or backpack. Copy addresses and directions into a pocket-sized notebook if you need to check on them on the tube or out on the street, because being seen with a tour book is an invitation to pigeon pluckers. And even as the book itself is too large to conveniently conceal, the type is so small that you have to squint to read details and descriptions. Note to the Let's Go people: not everybody who buys your books is a kid anymore.

On balance, though, this is probably the book you want if you're not blowing your nose on pound notes. It's clear, individual descriptions are concise, and it's all very helpful. If you want to see London, if you want to let it into your pores in a way most tourists never get to do, and if you want to do all that on the kind of money real people tend to have, this is your book.
